From the article, the fee is to support the AG enforcement, it's not meant as a meaningful punitive damage. > In addition, Amazon will pay $2.25 million to the Attorney General’s Office, which will be used to support the Attorney General’s antitrust enforcement, which does not receive general fund support. |
