    “Not to exceed the GREATER of $25,000 or three times…”

    If the value gained was $5K, the fine is the greater of $15K and $25K, i.e. $25K. If the value gained was $500K, then the fine is the greater of $1.5M and $25K, i.e. $1.5M.

    $25,000 is the MINIMUM fine.

      $25,000 is the MINIMUM fine.

      Not exaaaaactly. In fact, the minimum is still $0. The 25k is still a maximum for lower pecuniarily (is that a word?) damaging cases. Just the same, for cases where the pecuniary damages were $6.33k, the maximum would still be 25k. You know where I’m going with this. Still, the 25k is, sadly, not a minimum fine.

      It’s all moot anyway because he’ll get out of any fine thrown at him by leeching off his supporters’ naivete like he always does.
