We need...

an investigation into:

Just who determines the amount of the fine?
How is the fine collected?
How is the fine distrbuted?

This company cause innumerous losses to startup and "whistle-blowers" let alone the actual users whose very PCs and internet accounts were affected.

$3Mill is chump change.

AFAIK, any fine paid to a government agency goes to that government agency's budget, meaning the FTC gets to pocket the $3M.

I.E. a XxX County Sheriff writes me a traffic ticket and I acquiesce and pay said ticket, the fine goes to XxX County.

Exactly. The people bear the cost of fixing their machines from this crapware and the good old FTC sits back and collects the "reward". How swell!
