    In 2020, Guaranteed Rate was forced to pay a $15 million fine to the United States government for committing federal insurance fraud. The company reported having $73 billion in funded volume that same year.

    yea

    This is the equivalent of being fined $20.55 after you fraud your way to $100,000

      Or being fined $0.02 for stealing $100, which is closer to an amount that I can comprehend

      Instead, if a worker steals $100 out of the register, they go to jail and pay fines exceeding what was stolen

      I don't know where the line came from, but it was something along the lines of ”If the punishment is a fine, then it's not illegal for rich people to do it”. Or rich corporations, but amerikkka already considers them people.
