Well the article said that customers were charged ‘up to $300’. Let’s be conservative and say customers were charged $150 on average. $35 million/$150 = 233,333

Well the article said that customers were charged ‘up to $300’. Let’s be conservative and say customers were charged $150 on average. $35 million/$150 = 233,333. So the question is, did they scam more than 233,333 people? I’d bet so.

- binarymax 8y agoI wonder if you can FOIA to get the actual numbers, or the estimates of the numbers for how the FTC arrived at $15M
- lotsofpulp 8y agoThe question is what percent of total scams were caught and fined, since for the people committing them, it’s a total fines / total profit across all scams calculation. Additionally, the fines come out of company money, and presumably, executives have a network to fall back on so losing their job isn’t likely an issue.
