That would be incredibly illegal and is pointless hyperbole.
Exactly, they might get fined $300,000 for making $2,000,000,000 in profit.
They wouldn't dare!
Ya, cause people aren't going to issue charge backs. They'll just shrug and say "you caught me!"
Also completely believable. This is why I never enter payment info on Google software or hardware. Illegal doesn't mean shit to companies this big, ftc/fcc are toothless and we are cattle.
A 6 figure fine for a 12 figure profit sounds accurate to how this would play out.
not believable at all. this would get them banned from their payment processors instantly.
