I was just reading about a violation of the Canadian fisheries act that has a maximum penalty of $200k, and realized the absurdity of there ever being a maximum fine.

There should be no maximum fine on any corporate penalty given that we do not cap the size of corporations or their bank accounts.

It would be like having maximum jail terms of 25 years for immortal beings that can live to 10,000.

    A friend shared a memory of his drug dealer dad, when they were in vegas, lost a ton of money gambling and flipped the fuck out. Started smashing vases.

    Security approached. He threw hundred dollar bills at them. They started handing him more vases.
