My point was it isnt a cost of doing business, if your costs are more than your earnings then it is just bad business.

We dont have a view of how much profit this infraction earned them but I would have a hard time believing it approached 2.5% of their global profit.

Any bean counter is going to love pointing out a fuck up of someone else that they can take credit for remedying.
