I've always wondered in situations like this: Is this a fine uber will actually pay? Does the US have any treaties with Colombia which put teeth in this fine inside US jurisdiction? Or would they pay it simply out of a desire to, possibly, one day, operate legally in the country and not want to start out on the wrong foot? And more specifically, the three people who were fined directly; are they really going to get out their checkbooks (or would Uber just cover it)? I've always wondered this; you hear about these multi-billion dollar fines Google/Facebook get from the EU, and obviously they want to continue doing legal business there, plus the EU is a great friend of the US, so they pay them. But with smaller countries that are, traditionally, not on a great political footing with the first world, what do businesses do? Especially in this case where they are operating illegally anyway? Pay up? Throw the letter in the trash and laugh over an $800 bottle of bourbon like a supervillain?
