    Yup. The fines should be 10-20% of profits for the time period, per charge, depending on the severity.

    That would got their gd attention.

      Never profits, always revenue. Profits can be gobbled up by some internal bonus or “future investment in a project”, thus making it $0. Revenue is all the money generated before allocations and expenses come out. Much harder to weasle out of.
