Do you honestly think that the 60 mil they have to pay made the illeagal business conduct un-profitable??
I think Cathay weighed their options and knew exactly what they were doing. Publicly, they'll say how sorry they are and how an "inverstigation" will be carried out. In all reality, who knows how many millions they raked in and they will be patting themselves in the back for many years to come.
It really is a win-win situation for them, purchased at a measely 60 mil.
