How much is 18bn of their 200 bn yearly revenue? 9%. That's not bad.

Except it's not actually 18bn. It's 18bn to be paid over 10 years, 1,8bn/year. Which makes it less than 1% of the yearly revenue.

    I'm not sure what you're arguing against.

    One could argue that the fine is merely the cost of doing business given the way it's structured and what it actually costs the company.

    ie. That fine should arguably be significantly higher to have any substantial effect on the company's behaviour.
