I’m sorry for the bad rule, but rule number rule rule.
EDIT: I’m glad people like and are discussing the post. For the record though, I posted this for the funny number lol
Should be a high percentage of profits or even revenue.
Percentage of gross annual earnings from the year of the crime.
0-100% sliding scale decided by a judge based on crime severity.
Let the public veto the fine (back to a new judge) via referendum if they deem it too lenient. Rinse and repeat. Let the public get some punches in because corps have been swinging down at us for over a century.
The fact that this is “too democratic” to be realistic is a sign of the times, imo.
The offenses that can only be committed by the rich against the poor are never criminal. Unless the rich get screwed over too, there’s never any jail time.
