Not exactly, it's not a good measure simply to take the profit of 1 year as a guide. They will not be expected to pay this fine each year. Turning over a profit of 9Bn, its still after this fine.. Thats still huge. Given their assets, cash on hand etc. I don't think they will lose much sleep. Anyway they will get away with it. They can afford to.

They will not be expected to pay this fine each year. They will be "expected" to discontinue the behavior the IRS is suing them for. If they do it again, the IRS presumably has cause to sue again.

  The lawsuit is not about ongoing behavior, but about the valuation placed on a one time intellectual property sale in 2010.

  Don't worry, they fine wont stand. - Get used to be screwed over by companies with more power in the law than you.
