Those are the threats, how often does it happen? How often is it blamed on software from a company that has somehow become untouchable? The day before I was talking with the guy that makes the software for gas station interface panels, I had one of those interface panels hit me up for my zipcode as they all did back in the day… I accidentally, but quite certainly, typed it in wrong and hit enter… 3 seconds later I’m approved and pumping gas. Software guy initially said that shouldn’t happen, but when I told him it happened to me at such and such gas station last Thursday he started hand waving about how sometimes the information isn’t actually verified…

Fines are usually severely reduced as a part of a settlement, but they do happen. As for prison… for a white collar crime in US? LOL
