Swiss court fines speeding millionaire $290,000

[gunslingingbird]

ST. GALLEN, Switzerland – A Swiss court has slapped a wealthy speeder with a chalet-sized fine — a full $290,000.

Judges at the cantonal court in St. Gallen, in eastern Switzerland, based the record-breaking fine on the speeder's estimated wealth of over $20 million.

How's that for a steep fine?

Like the Swiss government really needs the money with Trillions of Euros & Dollars stashed away in offshore Swiss bank accounts.

It would make sense.

This ruling is preposterous.
