$25,000 is the MINIMUM fine.
Not exaaaaactly. In fact, the minimum is still $0. The 25k is still a maximum for lower pecuniarily (is that a word?) damaging cases. Just the same, for cases where the pecuniary damages were $6.33k, the maximum would still be 25k. You know where I’m going with this. Still, the 25k is, sadly, not a minimum fine.

You and me, sure. But they don’t bother with the rich ones because the rich have (typically) good lawyers. It’s why they get away with tax fraud so often - the IRS isn’t interested in pursuing them because it would cost them to much.
