Q4 2018 earnings were around $40 billion. EU will have to try significantly harder.


That's the revenue, not profit.


That's also the point. Profit shouldn't have anything to do with fines. Redress and compensation should. A fine is supposed to make business-as-usual unpalatable.


Sure, I'm just pointing it out because "earnings" usually means "profit".


It will have to be executive jailtime and personal fines or it will never matter.
