| When you rob a bank, there isn't a minimum fine where you can walk away and still keep some of the banks stolen money. If we want to stop bad behaviour, there can be NO PROFIT from illegal actions. So if a company makes billions of dollars, through illegal actions, all of those billions of dollars need to be the fine, and the board and senior executives should also face personal fines, so they aren't also profiting. |

Making the fine cover all revenue from the crime makes more sense. A bank robber doesn't get to claim that some of what they took should go to pay for their getaway car. | | |

| Scares them well enough and the "up to" won't kill a smaller business, provided the transgression wasn't too serious. I had trainings upon trainings about this, particularly because in my line of work I deal with medical data, which is categorised as sensitive. |
