Reply to comment by ineedabuttrub in Google has to pay $9.4 million because it paid people to say they liked the Pixel 4 by RunOrDieTrying

The math checks out.

I see it as, Google had to spend a tiny bit more on their marketing budget, essentially.

They had to spend $0.30 more on their marketing budget to be exact. Guess some heads will roll for this outrageous blunder. $0.30 is a lot of money.

9,400,000 ÷ 69,000,000,000 = 0.000136

0.000136 × 100,000 = 13.623

13.623 ÷ 4 = 3.406

Take a moment and re-read the comment, and try and do your math again.
