Dell fine today: Rollins agreed to pay a $4 million civil penalty. Schneider is paying a $3 million penalty as well as $83,096 in restitution and $38,640 in interest. Dunning is paying a $50,000 penalty. In addition, Schneider agreed to a five-year suspension from working as an accountant for a public company; Dunning and Jackson agreed to three-year bars. >>>> Did crime still pay? Are the fines heavy enough to deter? What are the odds one gets caught? It's only a settlement and not prosecuted. Read, we are to lazy and need to watch more porn then to prosecute even a slam dunk case, let's just settle. They probably got paid more than the fines. Odds low one gets caught. SEC is reactive not proactive. I'd say not a great deterrant. I wonder if they are unemployed. My guess we are paying their unemployment and they have started a business on the side.
