The US is such a corrupt country. This was basically a kangaroo court, but with typical American-style pomp and self-absorption.

Wait so $660m? Maybe I missed it, but it doesn't look like they physically damaged anything, and the fine is for damaging a reputation of a company that majority of people never heard of?

Greenpeace is part of the group the laws bind but do not protect.

True, but I haven’t paid a parking ticket in like a decade so I’m pretty sure they can just “ignore” it like I do.
