AT&T Pays $23M for Bribery Charge

[Weatherman2020]

Notice nobody ever gets sent to prison?
$23M for a $170B company. Joke.

AT&T to pay $23M fine for bribing powerful lawmaker’s ally in exchange for vote: AT&T said it’s “committed to ensuring that this never happens again.”

‘This’ meaning don’t get caught again.

Oh please, they make $23M in one day.
It's chump change to them.

Charge them one year of income.............$200 BILLION!

Put the Board of Directors in San Quentin for a year.

It’s like the Enron scam in California. They illegally bilked billions from rate payers and simply got fined with not a cent going to rate payers.

Put the Board of Directors in San Quentin for a year.

That really wouldn't be much of a penalty either. Cell phones are valuable contraband in the joint. If I was advising the Board of Directors, I'd tell them to suitcase as many as they can and they would be swimming in commissary.

Oligarchs need to stick together

Let's be fair here.

According to the article, AT&T paid about $22,000 to a legislator who allegedly played no role in advancing legislation favorable to AT&T.

If anything, AT&T is due a refund for the $22,000.

When you buy a whore, you expect some service.

I recall Dinesh D'Souza went to prison over a lot less.

Quick, tell us how many days he was in prison

 

[Hellokitty]

I think it was around 6 months.

Then you need to think again
