mhoyeWe really, really need to enshrine in law the idea that fines be proportional to the size of the entity being fined. Stop fining near-trillion-dollar companies in the millions and start fining them in percentages of their market cap. Fifty million dollars is shake out the couch money to these guys. Two percent of market cap and you're goddamn right they'll pay attention.
Peter Linss@mhoye and the fine needs to be *after* they forfeit all revenue they made by violating whatever the fine was for in the first place. Otherwise it can still be worth it.
And of course, all the execs who directed the organization to break the law need to be criminally prosecuted too.
