Moiraine, companies in the US do this, also. In fact, they plan for it, because many companies hold sums of money in reserve to use in case they are caught and fined for regulatory violations. To them, violations are simply a risk of conducting business.
I agree with Rokenn--if you wish to stop this sort of behavior, begin putting CEOs and board members in prison. Either that, or remove any sort of cap on fines that may be assessed. I think Tyson shareholders would want questions answered and heads to roll had the fines been $7.5 billion instead of million. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]
