  It’s not like HP is rolling in coin, but even for them $4m is probably less than they made from the actual infraction. Make it all make sense.

    These fines should really be based on the infraction profits times 100. To make sure you ripped out all benefits of doing these scams. Company goes bankrupt? Too bad. Why would we want to keep illegally operating businesses around anyway.

      Fines are for the poor. Always have been. Rich people pay “fines” like you wipe your ass.
