$3,500 fine?

So if I am reading this story correctly, Electronics for Imaging paid out $40K in back-wages and overtime to these Indian employees, and then paid a $3,500 fine--the maximum fine allowable.

So the math works out that a company in a similar situation should commit the same crime, as long as they think there's a less than 92% chance they will get caught.
