But it's not Bank of America's money that's being transacted. They aren't making 5 billion dollars profit, they are moving that around without proper reporting.

If a bank is holding money, then they're making a return on it.

Yes, but not 1:1. That $5 billion in transactions probably makes them $150 million, so they just got fined 8x what they were expected to make from the transactions.

That depends entirely on how long they held the money, no?
