    How many corporations have experienced fines that make them stop committing crime? Are they in the room with us right now?

      It is almost impossible to state this because it’s proving a negative. A company says they changed, sometimes they have, sometimes they only haven’t been caught anymore - there is no real way to know.

      I know I’ve had to go through a bunch of trainings in my company of how not to do something that would get us fined, but I don’t know if it actually has worked or if it’s just a checklist item that keeps the fines down somehow

        With all due respect, that is the dumbest shit I’ve heard in a while. Congrats!

        If you don’t pay attention to the world and don’t know shit about modern history you can simply say you don’t know, instead of asserting some fantasy where oligarch criminals could be rehabilitated by a negligible inconvenience because the proles have to do compliance training.
