Not sure net income would tell you that much either. Many companies deliberately keep net income low by reinvesting in further growth. Think of Amazon's model.

- Algent 3y agoAgreed, fine on net income is meaningless it just mean it won't hurt. Should be at least 10% of revenue like antitrust tend to do, this would make anyone think twice.

If my company transacted $1T in some boring business model that netted a few million to the company coffers and employee pay then fining me on the $1T would simply wipe the company out many times over
