So, you'd prefer he be slapped on a wrist by some pocket change (for him) fine? I mean, sure, for me, it would vacuum my bank clean, but I'd assume if they took 100mil (current creds) then he had a lot more remaining. And I'm sorry but I'm fully for taking enough money to actually make you care.
I mean, if he's sitting on 1 bil (current creds) then it's probably fine. Like I said, I don't know how much cash he's got kicking around, probably in the neighborhood of 600-800 mil, but taking such a large percentage of someone's cash is a bit bonkers. Yeah, the old 5 mil fines were much lower than they should have been; I could see a 100 mil fine being totally reasonable back in the day. I mean, it would've cleaned me out then, purely because I never kept credits around.
