I see your point. I wonder, though, which fundamental the fine should be compared to. I'm not sure if profit is really the right one. Of course I'm no expert

- CaveTech 10y agoIncrease your costs so you make very little "profit" on paper. Shareholders wouldn't like it, but your fines would be close to 0. Profit is a terrible metric, it measures the efficiency of your organization.
- diydsp 10y agoThe fine should be compared to the damages experienced by the victims. The comparison to fundamentals is really a red herring. PP probably only brought it up in response to the poster before them. It may not be easy to compute the damages, but I agree with the point above: the fine is NOT a slap on the wrist. It represents a sizeable chunk of the company's profit.
