Robocallers were already banned for life and unable to pay previous fines.

    So, what tiny fraction of their profits does this fine represent?

      Ya I appreciate the gesture but if this truly is the “biggest” robocall racket I have to imagine a 300M fine is a dropping the bucket

          Not like they’ll seriously be expected to.
