1. But No Punishment for Apple

From the AP story: The $32.5 million is the minimum that Apple would pay. As part of the settlement, Apple is required to pay full refunds to consumers for kids' unauthorized purchases, so the number could go higher. If it doesn't rise to $32.5 million, the difference would be paid to the FTC, Ramirez said.

If the "number could go higher", it means that Apple took in MORE than $32.5 million, and everybody knows it.

Sounds like a crime took place, and the criminal might even get to keep some of the spoils.
