Yes, I'm sure the penalties will be so high as to teach them a lesson they won't forget for decades because that's how good the legal system is in dealing with corporations now.

The early 2000s stuff did end up having some significant effects that lasted for decades.

They've 100% forgotten all about that or think it won't happen again in the last few years, though.

Well of course not, ever since they got that deal with Uncle Sam they knew they could do anything up to Steve Ballmer kicking a secret service agent in the nuts and stealing the Football. Maybe even including that, won't know until it happens lol.
