Penalty Total since 2000: $43,560,101,570
Number of Penalty Records: 426
Note: The totals here are adjusted to account for the fact that each current parent's entries may include both agency records and settlement announcements for the same case; or else a penalty covering multiple locations may be listed in the individual records for each of the facilities.
