Chiquita Ordered to Pay $38 Million for Funding Colombian Death Squads
American banana company Chiquita has been linked to civilian massacres in Colombia and ordered to pay $38 million in a historic judgment.
Good. But they should be taken for everything they have.
What does it take for a company to be dismantled for crimes in the US?
Doing crimes that rock the boat instead of being business as usual
active invasion and occupation by socialist forces
Apparently a whole fuck of a lot.
I wish the 8 was a B.
$38 🅱️illion
3 billion million
and non-us billions please
If my only consequence for organizing death squads was was to pay 0.5% of my annual income, I have a few people I’d be bumping off too.
38 million?
good to know that we never got rid of blood price, but only for companies
So, basically nothing.
That’s the point of fines, they only punish little people. Corporations and the rich just absorb them like there nothing.
Yep. For capitalists fines are just the cost of doing business. If that cost is low enough, they will break the associated laws.
Yearly revenue... 31 billion dollars. 38 million is nothing for destabilising a country for decades.
They make 154k per employee, apparently... Not surprising when you consider they're paying their plantation workers 400 dollars a month.
Any problem that can be resolved by money isn't a problem for these companies.
Spare change
