  It is. If every business followed every law perfectly as a standard practice it would be very difficult for many businesses to survive. Law has to be fudged when appropriate.

    Look, the most aggressive folks have reasoned positions they feel comfortable taking to judges and counterparties. If your position is "I'm illegal and I don't care, see if you can fashion a remedy that makes me regret it", judges and counterparties will oblige.

      If you aren’t caught doing illegal things you will never see a judge.
