(...my bet is the FOF will be surprisingly negative, while penalties, barring settlement, will be surprisingly moderate.)

My vague recollection is that penalties (GM?)in the past have been the equivalent of requirements for promotional advertising campaigns, nothing they wouldn't have done on their own if they'd thought of it. The justice department is only interested in power and the revolving door for its lawyers.

Regards, Don
