Honest question, how much did they make in profits from illegal activities that led to the fine of $10 billion? I have no idea if it was millions or trillions. My hunch is they paid much less than they made, although I hope to be wrong on this.
The fines are consistently overshadowed by the ill-gotten profits, in every case I run across. I wish you were wrong.
Imagine how many students would cheat on tests if the penalty was not a failing grade, but only a “wrong answer” counted for every question they could somehow prove you cheated on. Ooh, and you’d get to bring in experts to argue with them on your behalf about it for a few years while having the grade you got through cheating stand on the records for all that time.
