no agreement has been reached but the company set aside $3 billion this quarter which impacted its financial earnings statement, out this afternoon

the numbers looked messed up — about half of what investors expected — b/c of the financial penalty preparation set aside and it's in GAAP. otherwise would have been a big beat.

FB stock up 5 percent on this news which is funny
assume investors are aware that 3-5 billion bucks is....not a lot of money to facebook when they mint about $15 billion per *quarter*
this probably alleviates some investor anxiety around regulatory action pic.twitter.com/7rYnlZ1MU5
