Unless they fine them 90% of the extra profit they have earned by raising prices 3x they won't be phased. And they will gladly take the risk of manipulating market again in few years. GamersNexus has spoken with some manufacturers off the books, and one of them said "We have more money than God." So 8 billion is just pocket change for them.

They will still be forced to correct there errors. If they do it again they can always break the company up.

It's needed I think. Samsung getting bigger and bigger and more involved in other technological areas. Given that they have been caught and fined for corruption, having Samsung with all their fingers in the pie is not good.

They should be put in prison, unfortunately it doesn't often work like that for companies that do shady stuff...
