Re: A CRIME/Maxine /$$??/

[Gary L Peskin <garyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The bill is S.1899.  You can find the text at  by
searching on the bill number.  The bill provides for a civil penalty as
follows:

(2) CIVIL PENALTY- Any person or entity that violates any provision of
this section shall be subject to, in the case of a violation that
involves the derivation of a pecuniary gain, a civil penalty of not less
than $1,000,000 and not more than an amount equal to the amount of the
gross gain multiplied by 2, if that amount is greater than $1,000,000.

The fine only applies if there was a pecuniary gain derived.  The
minimum penalty is $1,000,000.  The maximum penalty is double the amount
of the gross gain, if that is greater than the minimum.

HTH,
Gary
