1% of 400000 = 4000.

Given a .com costs about $25 for 2 years, at about $190 mark-up that
still represents $760 000 profit, less the cost of the mailout (say $300
000).

$460 000 in his pocket is still pretty good bucks if you ask me.

A fine of anything less than $460 000 STILL means that it's been a
profitable venture, and probably worth doing again!
