That's just the fine. CEO who ambiguously but pretty openly called for them to be harnessed was fired, the 2 execs he told to harass them were fired and received 2yrs and 5yrs in prison respectively, and I believe the 4 people those execs worked with also received prison time as well.
The legal settlement from this flat our targeted terror campaign will likely 10x that, if not more.
Man, it's worse than that. The CEO left in September 2019 with a multimillion dollar exit package, and went on to become a chairman of GM. The guy below him who mobilized the security team left to be the CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Silicon Valley. I did a deep dive video on this today, but I dont want to spam the link. It's in my profile in a recent comment if you're interested.
