It's important to remember this was only over 10 positions so while the overall amount seems low, the per-position fine was pretty high.

3.2 million. That will teach them.

how did they come up with tht number? ( cant open the article) .

300k/person seems kind of low given they get paid in millions. might even encourage them to do this in future given theyve seen what the punishment could be.

Who gets paid in millions? It doesn't look like their pay is actually very good except higher level positions.
