That's just the fine. CEO who ambiguously but pretty openly called for them to be harnessed was fired, the 2 execs he told to harass them were fired and received 2yrs and 5yrs in prison respectively, and I believe the 4 people those execs worked with also received prison time as well.

The legal settlement from this flat our targeted terror campaign will likely 10x that, if not more.
- Man, it's worse than that. The CEO left in September 2019 with a multimillion dollar exit package, and went on to become a chairman of GM. The guy below him who mobilized the security team left to be the CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Silicon Valley. I did a deep dive video on this today, but I dont want to spam the link. It's in my profile in a recent comment if you're interested.
