The Federal Communications Commission today issued a record fine of $299,997,000 against a robocall operation that specialized in auto warranty scam calls, the FCC announced, calling it “the largest illegal robocall operation the agency has ever investigated.”
Unfortunately, the fines have never been collected, per the article… and so the robocalls continue.
Jaaaaaillll…

On the one hand, vigilantism is a terrible thing.
On the other hand, it’s a symptom of a dysfunctional justice system. That root cause must be addressed, and if it’s not then vigilantism is the natural “punishment” for the broken system itself.
I thought, finally some regulation… Only to read the fine can’t be collected because “inability to pay” over their robo call operations.
I think US has dropped to ball trying to hold criminals accountable, and we just end up taking our frustration out on the powerless by throwing the book at them and acting tough.
Seriously, stop dancing around with fines and fees already. They’re never going to pay them. You’re better off just sending a police team to raid their offices and operation before promptly jailing them.
