This is a pointless statistic. I assume you mean market capitalization by net worth and if they were fined that much every month their market cap would immediately drop by 90% because their costs in paying fines would take away 90% of their profit.

So you are saying they could pay a 13B dollar fine every month and still make ~1B dollar profit?

Apple makes 5-7B/ mo in net revenue (roughly close enough to profit for this purpose), so no.

Instead of asking a question why don't you just make your point?

[Aeolun]

I think the point is in the answer to the question? If the answer isn’t correct there is no point.

[brigadier132]

I want them to make the point explicit so I can explain why they are a greedy leech. If they keep the point ambiguous by asking a rhetorical question they can move goalposts.

[kman82]

Exactly. What a doodoo statement

[soperj]

Most statistics are pointless. This is just a representation of what 13 billion is.

[lotsofpulp]

Why parrot things that are pointless? Market cap is not "net worth", so what was the point of the comparison?
