      Exactly, they might get fined $300,000 for making $2,000,000,000 in profit.

      They wouldn’t dare!

        Ya, cause people aren’t going to issue charge backs. They’ll just shrug and say “you caught me!”

      Also completely believable. This is why I never enter payment info on Google software or hardware. Illegal doesn’t mean shit to companies this big, ftc/fcc are toothless and we are cattle.

      A 6 figure fine for a 12 figure profit sounds accurate to how this would play out.
