Johnson & Johnson Fined $2.2 Billion And SAC Capital Will Pay $1.8 Billion In Settlements Recently..

announced. That's $4 billion between the two. Wow!!!! Where does that money go? Where does it wind up?

Just a thought - I'm sure there are a lot of other companies/corporations that have committed offenses that could result in a fine. How much money can we take in on them?
