Oh boy $0.50 per person for a decade of price fixing! That seems reasonable.

Cost of doing business.

Agreed, but I got like $50 for the bread one. Obviously doesn't compensate for the actual overpaying, but I guess better than nothing? But also what will we find out next that had a similar thing? Fuck corrupt mega-companies. Where's the guillotine?

Yeah, the payout is probably gonna be pretty small.
Maeve@kbin.earth · 2 pts · 49d
Yeah. I was talking to a relative who got a FB settlement for a whopping $2.47. They still use it, too. 🙄

They are hoping for their next $2.50

Doing illegal shit and paying fines for it is just the cost of doing "business" for these behemoths.

It should be civil forfeiture like when a drug boss gets busted and they take everything that was possibly funded by the drug money.
The CEO and Legal Dept would definetly make sure nothing shady was going on after that rule.

Whats that, like 2 days worth of their profits? Absolute corporate/judicial corruption.

Well, it's a settlement - the judiciary has nothing to do with it.
