The broader Facebook userbase, likely including the lawyers. This was years of work for many lawyers.

The real issue here is that 725 mil isn't enough of a punishment for how massive Meta is. They net more than that in a month.

    No company on earth would just write off $725M. These are the sort of people who drop a business card in a fishbowl at a restaurant for a "contest" so that their lunch is a tax deductible business expense.
