“As you can see your honor, we actually lost 400 million last year. Negative profit. It looks like you actually owe us money when you calculate the proposed fine…”
Surly u can make it the value of a percentage of shaires. The primary purpose of any company is the keep the shairholders happy either pay ur fines or fail ur primary purpose.
While I’d love a percentage based fee, this is a damages suit, so it should be actual damages these people are owed, as determined by the court. A percentage just doesn’t make sense here unless punitive damages were also on the table.
In principle I agree, though, breaking the law should not be an affordable “cost of doing business”.
When will punishment stop being attached to a hard number and be a percentage of the company’s worth. Shits maddening.
These companies shift gains and losses around so much that they would evade any punishment
