    Reminder that it’s all revenue PLUS 10%. So it effectively makes whatever bullshit money making scheme they want to use, cost money instead.

      Good to know you dont mind the profiteering off fraud.

      Fine is a penalty, not a cost of business, not a sales tax. A penalty.

      100k fine on 1 mill refund is nothing. 1 mill fine on 1 mill refund is a fine.

        My guy. Reading comprehension. I did not say 10%. I said 10% ON TOP OF ANY EARNINGS.

        As in, if a corp earns 1 million, the fine levied would be 1.1 million.

        Christ, go back to 2nd grade.

          Stop conflating refund as earnings and a fine. Its not. They didn’t earn shit, they committed fraud and stole money. Forced refunds are not fines

            Yes, they earned things. Fraudulently. You’re getting up in arms over some terminology that doesn’t quite mesh with your preferences. We’re clearly on the same wavelength - stop organizations from acquiring (does that keep you happy? Getting? Taking? Whatever fucking word you want) money through illegal or unethical methodology.

            You’re like the worst part of the left. Up in arms because someone dares to have a “different” opinion from you, when if you actually stopped to understand the words they’re saying, you’d realize you’re on the same fucking page.

              You’re perpetuating it as a win. Its not. Its not close to bare minimum. The cost of this should have been:

              1. Sales refunds
              2. Fine (much larger because its to small and because they are flying lose with personal safety)
              3. Damages to customers. It would be safe to assumed every person was placed in harms way that purchased these devices.

              Incoherent ramblings.

              Cool story bro

                Don’t put words in my mouth. You’re the one refusing to move past the fact that I chose to refer to your idea of a refund as part of the fine. Get back to me when you make an effort to understand the actual points I’m making. Actually, don’t bother, you’re not worth my time any longer.
