I wish the press release indicated how much JPMS gained, so I could know if JPMS is still significantly ahead after these penalties.

Does the deferred criminal prosecution mean, basically, pay your fine and don't do it again and you won't be prosecuted? So they really face no long term negatives if they gained more by knowingly breaking the law and paying a fine later?

This whould be the $172M in disgorgement mentioned in the order.
thank you!
100% agree, the crucial thing to know is if this is just a cost of doing business and is effectively a government bribe to let them keep doing it.
