Judge: Google Illegally Engaged In Anticompetitive Monopolistic Ad Tech Practices (www.seroundtable.com)

A US judge ruled Google acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in some ad tech. This is the second time a judge ruled Google willfully engaged in monopolistic practices. The remedies for these rulings are still being worked out but may strengthen the case to have Google's business broken up.

Or a fine that is about 1 week of the profits they get from continuing whatever they were fined for

A week? You're crazy.
It'll be a day or two of profit, max.
