The cost, whatever it will be, is always just a cost of doing business.
The purpose of the fine is to make the business unprofitable, which it is successful at doing.
- account42 4y agoThe purpose of the fine is not to make the business unprofitable, it is to make that particular endeavour unprofitable. If profit from violating law - fine for violating law > 0 then then any business not run by ethics will continue to violate the law because not doing so is less profitable. This does not change if the business is throwing out money elsewhere.
