Goldman fined $22M for ‘willfully’ violating law on information-sharing

"Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs “willfully violated” federal law by holding weekly “huddles” through which there was at least the potential for Goldman analysts to offer its own traders and favored clients a preview of the firm’s investment research, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Thursday."

Thoughts?

 

If the fine for this is only $22 million why wouldn't they do it? They could make a lot more than that and just assume its a small cost of doing business a certain way. Besides, I doubt Goldman is the only firm that does this sort of thing.
