Who gets the fine?
Each citizen gets $1.00, which will cost $10.00 to process and send?
Or 2 cents after lawyers at 99% share?
Or Zelenski? He could set up robocalls form Ukraine.

Read the above about fines, it is an eye opener. Do you see any potential for political mischief?
Equally important, the Commission’s fines and penalties are sometimes used as precedent or guideposts for determining the size of other enforcement fines and penalties. If our past work is used as the basis for future decisions, consideration must be given to what was actually collected. For instance, the Commission has issued a number of NALs and eventual forfeitures against purveyors of slamming and cramming. It would be extremely helpful to know whether those entities actually paid the amounts assessed, or just closed down shop to reopen under a new name.

fcc is rather busy assessing fines.
My research with the fines is that the payment is negotiated to go away if a contribution to a proper “non profit” is paid.
