17. A quiet place to contemplate their losses
Prison would do and be well deserved. Society would be much safer with those perps behind bars.

Here's what they've already lost. News Corp had a lock on buying the 61% outstanding of BSkyB. They had to give that up because of the scandal. It's a huge loss in future revenues.

BSkyB Gross Revenues
$9.7 billion

61% of Gross Revenues
$5.9 billion

They will ever see that $5.9 billion, ever. If they'd acquired it, which may have been by now, they would have gone from
a $32 billion to a $38 billion company. That has to hurt. Now they may lose the revenues from the 39% they currently own.

OMG! Horrors Rupert, we hardly knew ye!
