Well I’ll be damned. My estimate was way off.

$25 million is nothing. Thats probably what they make in a days worth of sales, probably even less than a day. This is pocket change for a corporation of their size. They probably knew what the fines would be and decided it was cheaper to pay that than do the right thing. Hell, corporations allocate part of their budgets for fines and penalties; it’s an incidental part of doing business for them.
