That's why fines should always be out of revenue, like the GDPR fines, and never profit. Just because the business you did illegally was bad business shouldn't mean you don't have to pay fines for it.
No, that's entirely fair, and I agree should be the SOP. I was just thinking of the recent articles about how AI companies in general are hiding massive amounts of debt a-la Enron style, thus likely even their revenue figures are made up.
