Who gets the 3m? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it isn't the people who were deceived/lied to.

3M also seems like a pittance? From a quick look their revenue is like $1.7B. Granted their margins are small but still

I feel like if they doubled the specs of their device to make sales they should have to pay back HALF of what they made from the sales. Not just the profit margin, a plain 50% of gross.
