The point is, the 5B was a fine, accepting full penalty for whatever "wrong thing", over that part which was being investigated.
The 47x number is apples and oranges. They are two different fines / issues.
What Zuck knew isn't relevant, for, the fine was likely "if all the bad things we think you did, happened, then this is the fine".
So, in essence, he admitted to all the questions being asked.
Zuck / Facebook paid, rather then shine greater light on things. So yeah, bad stuff surely, but I see no direct connection to the other fine.
In fact, by relating it to the other fine, people are missing that it may have been an entirely other (very bad) matter.
The bit about personal liability, etc, etc is standard boilerplate stuff.
