    $250? Maybe if it was a family in the poor part of Los Angeles that had committed the offense. NBC Universal makes $250 in less than a minute I think.

      NBC is owned by Comcast who made $5,370,000,000 in net income last year. That’d be $14,700,000 every day, $610,000 every hour. So just over $10,000 per minute. They made $170 every second.
