Let's be clear in talking about that scary fine: Yahoo could pay $250k a day for a decade with cash on hand.

Sorry, make that 300 years, if they wanted to push it.

It's a million dollars every 4 days, even assuming a generous 4b cash balance, 4000 days, or 11 years is what they'd have lasted. It's a pretty scary fine.

and you think the court would not have gradually increased it? Or jailed folks?
