They were punished appropriately for the crimes that they committed.
This is another terrifying account of owners of hostels who are unwilling to spend money on improvements to their establishments. This lady had a terrible experience with bed bugs when she was vacationing in Hawaii. Because her wounds were so severe, she had to be brought to the hospital after the incident.
When the owners found out they had a bed bug infestation, they did not immediately go out and purchase new mattresses. They could not purchase a new mattress, so instead of buying one, they just put the old one in a garbage bag and pretended it was OK. In the end, the woman brought them to court, where she was victorious.
