"A wind energy company was sentenced to probation and ordered to pay more than $8 million in fines and restitution..."

I've always wondered when people are fined like this, to whom are the fines and restitution paid?? Who gets to have the money, and why?

Back during the IRS scandal it came out that the fines were fed right into liberal “nonprofit” hard core activist groups.
