Where they went wrong was buying endorsements without the DJ’s actually having the product to endorse. Google could have saved 9 million dollars if they would have supplied each endorser with the product. Cheap greed never was very smart.

"wrong". lol
They made way more than 9 million dollars doing this. This tiny infinitesimal nothing of a fine is like getting a 5 dollar ticket for jaywalking.

Yea, but management won’t see it this way. Employees lost the company ~10mil as opposed to less than $10k.

Employees won't get the blame for this. If they're clever (and I assume head of marketting for Alphabet/Google is clever) they'll blame it on the process.
"Yes, this broke the law, but our marketting department aren't lawyers, and the process wasn't in place at the time to run influencer outreach by our legal department. I instituted a new policy so this can't happen any more. You gonna fire the guy who fixed this?"
