The 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.
