Oh, and the fine also requires them pay interest on the amounts as well.

What I can't work from this article is whether the fine is in addition to the refunds they're required to pay, or inclusive of those refunds.

Can they take some exec to jail? They supposed to be responsible, but with penalties being just fines then they just become the potential tax of playing dirty.

Can they do Lenovo next?

I'd be happy if they just found a way to enforce quality control on their devices. The last high-end business class laptop I ordered never left memory training mode during boot right out of the box, and I had to RMA the whole thing. Surely they could have spent 5 minutes ensuring it was going to boot before shipping me a several thousand dollar device....
