It was old news ( a couple of weeks ago) but the reference made it into the NYT on Sunday. It wasn't Jorma but another guy who had sold a lot of stock. Fines are proportional to recent audited income tax return.

Highway Robbery is the title of a must read article in Monday's WSJ Opinion Section. At least the lead paragraph will delight many QCOM fans. Seems a certain Anssi Vanjoki, Senior Vice President of Nokia got a speeding ticket recently for driving 47 in a 30mph zone (that's what the article says, though I assume the infraction was actually measured in kph.) His fine, in a country where traffic fines are calibrated by the infractor's income and Mr. Vanjokki had "recently cashed in a whole lot of stock options": $103,600, a new record. (the previous record: $71,400 levied on "an Internet entrepreneur...for doing 43 mph in a 25 mph zone") Message 17048621
