An Apple fine commensurate with Lavabit's revenue should end the 
daredevilry with investors' stakeholdings. Judges really like to 
takedown justice defiers as warning to potential emulators. Try to 
wear Levison's boots with a red dot on forehead.

Apple revenue for Q1 2016 was $75B. A fine of $1B a day should induce 
Apple's investors to stampede toward disinvestment, Apple to 
bankruptcy minimization, fragmented ATT, entrapped like RSA, 
Microsoft and IBM. Before the foot shooting calamity, Tim Cook is 
ordered to take a hike with platinum buyout to counsel risk-averse 
VCs aboard world-circling craft of detumescent billionaire playboys 
enjoying quasi-carnal pleasure in climate change, disease and 
population control, retro-2001 space travel, moist-dreaming of POTUS.
