Calypso Fine

Q156: How much will Calypso water park pay in fines for its 2011-2012 safety violations?
Less than $100,000: 10%
$100,000 to $400,000: 30%
$400,000 to $1,000,000: 50%
More than $1,000,000: 10%

Calypso water park is currently on trial for a series of safety violations in 2011 and 2012 (see article here).  It has already been found guilty, and the trial is currently in the sentencing phase.  The prosecution is asking for $850,000, the defence for $125,000.  I think that the judge will likely choose something between those two values, but is slightly more likely to go for a larger fine than a smaller one.
