    The end goal of a corporation is to maximize profits for the shareholders within the confines of the law.

    And if the fine is greater than the profit, or they don’t get caught, that’s okay too.

      Yep. It’s easier to just break the law, pay the fine, and continue making billions over actually stopping the activity that causes the fine. That’s what happens when it’s almost impossible to hold anyone actually personally responsible force actions of a corporation.
