Sounds like substantial fines are in order.
A big enough fine has the same effect, doesnt it?
Bet they'll be fined less than they've earned?
They're not "getting away with it" though? They're being fined a large sum of money.
Unbelievable fines, that's the problem in this one case.
Hopefully this won't be abused. The fines are pretty significative!
Aren't those fines inflated due to the companies having a large revenue/to make an example?
Paying a fine isn't a real punishment?
Would this not be target to fines, at least in the US?
They might actually get fined a small amount!
