Imagine if they make a big revenue but still operated in the negative does that mean they are immune from any repercussions because they made no profit? That is delusional. You always calculate fines against revenue.
There is a comparison here, between the amount of the fine and revenue. I’m saying that a more appropriate comparison would be between the fine and profit.
It still doesn’t matter even from comparison point of view. In context of the comment, comparing it against revenue makes more sense than profit, since that’s what investors care about as that’s what grows stock value. Profit is what bonuses are based on when we are talking about these trillion-dollar corporations. So if we want to “teach” the investors, revenue is the target.
Pathetic. That’s 9 hours worth of revenue for them. I’m sure that’ll teach them.
Not saying the fine is fine, but revenue doesn’t matter here. Profit does.
Of course it matters.

I didn’t say to use profit to calculate the fine.
