Will they go out of business or just raise prices to White customers?(the only ones who pay).

Check out the sentences - two years probation???? Nothing mentioned about restitution. Can't find mug shots of any of them, either. I didn't have time to try to track down their political contributions. I almost feel sorry for the many dumb cluck bank robbers who only got a few thousand dollars and are now serving years of jail time.

As for tax in $6,000 being $555 but they were refunding $900... well, $900 (15% of $6,000) sounds more like what Illinois would like to charge for sales tax.
