Nah, if it was 2% of our revenue, I'd be much more likely to take the gamble. I'd be willing to invest a little in our staffing & infrastructure to take that risk.

I want to do the right thing - but that multi-million-euro penalty means the risk/reward equation just doesn't make sense. We'd never bring in enough revenue to pay off the hit from one angry judge determined to make an example out of us.
