Oh noooo, 1% of their yearly gross revenue or 1.3% of their yearly gross profit. What a fine!

Side note: I would love to discover a public record of them paying these fines... we hear they ate fined, but never that they had to pay them. What is stopping them from cutting a deal of a payment plan over 20 years with 0% interest or full up front but only paying 30% of it or some lobbying BS.

We can infer that for sure this fine is coming out pre-tax.
