Every time I see one of these stories. Did the fine actually exceed their profit from the misconduct?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

FR. Fines need to be based on at least double what the misconduct earned them.

I caught his coverage of the fine yesterday on 9 news, he pointed out that their share price actually rose afterwards, so the fine didn't really hurt them in any way.
