I'm wondering about the size of the fine

They will do anything rather than hand over real source. I wonder how much the Judge will fine them when she finds them in contempt fo refusing to hand it over.

A million a day? Nah, chump change for them, better make it a billion a day.

With this much manure around, there must be a pony somewhere.
