Seems likely. Probably a large, meaningless fine.

I'm curious about the potential legal basis for such a fine.

xapata | karma 5059 | avg karma 1.56 · | 2018-06-08 18:26:04+00:00

I'd bet the fines can be appropriately large and punitive if that's the case.

grecy | karma 23094 | avg karma 3.39 · | 2023-09-21 16:32:30

I assume it will be a ~$100k fine?

_eht | karma 802 | avg karma 2.09 · | 2019-06-19 19:51:05+00:00

I bet there will be fines involved.

jcpham2 | karma 349 | avg karma 1.01 · | 2021-03-12 10:46:02

This is unsurprising. They'll pay a fine.

The article speculates legal judgements & fines for violations. So, lots.

They could have a whistle blower reward. Someone is going to find out. Say 20% of the fine goes to the person that reported it.

Most likely a fine far less than the money gained from not abiding by the law, if history is anything to go by.

below43 | karma 118 | avg karma 1.46 · | 2023-08-22 15:50:58

In this case I think it would be more like a $10 fine.

isthisthingon99 | karma 142 | avg karma 0.49 · | 2023-01-14 02:54:06

Probably a payment plan on the fines.

jiripospisil | karma 8274 | avg karma 9.97 · | 2022-09-15 05:55:26

They might actually notice this one on their balance sheet. I highly doubt the final fine (if any) will be even close to this number though.

elecush | karma 57 | avg karma 0.68 · | 2023-01-30 22:14:26

Seems calculated and the fine should probably be 10x

mikece | karma 35535 | avg karma 5.86 · | 2022-06-09 23:26:45

Didn't someone just get a huge fine for something similar to this?

janalsncm | karma 6246 | avg karma 3.1 · | 2024-04-25 19:32:48

The consequence was a $4.4 million fine. Definitely not a deterrent in my opinion given the potential upside.

Bellend | karma 186 | avg karma 1.79 · | 2023-05-31 16:36:20

I'd be interested to know where the fine goes?

bkishan | karma 278 | avg karma 5.67 · | 2023-01-24 12:28:00

Ah yes, another case that will likely just end in a $xxxM fine.

miguelazo | karma 1458 | avg karma 1.62 · | 2022-12-05 12:53:47

Sounds like substantial fines are in order.

st3v3r | karma 1197 | avg karma 0.62 · | 2016-04-18 18:17:16+00:00

I'm going to guess that the penalty for that is a slap on the wrist compared to what would be recorded.

blululu | karma 4064 | avg karma 4.42 · | 2024-02-18 18:18:34

That is a huge fine.
