In each case you’ve listed the companies are clearly guilty. You’re proving my point for me.

The claim was about companies that are actually not guilty, and while sometimes that's ambiguous it's up to IncRnd to cite an example where it actually is ambiguous or better for the company, with a payment of a billion or more.
