Not if they made more money ripping people off than it cost them in the courts. Even if they didn't make a full $50 million in this scam, time value of money means they get to capture earnings on the scammed money for a decade before they have to finally pay a penalty.

THEN they get to offset $50 million of current income to reduce their tax bill. I'm surprised more banks don't do this.

This is why class actions can assess punitive damages.
