Pfizer pays record fine of $2.3bn for settling a healthcare fraud case

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8235550.stm
Excerpt - The $2.3bn settlement includes a criminal fine of more than $1bn

(I am not sure what happened to 'million' as a unit. Everything seems to be in 'billions' these days. Inflation? Jokes, sarcasm aside, the fine and the article are shocking for a company that makes medicines for the entire world. It shows how wrong things can be , even in highly reputed companies.)
