Are there any past examples of companies getting out of fines that way? Even Facebook had to pay 20Bn, you would think they could have gotten a judge for only 15 if it were so easy.

There are plenty of examples of companies challenging the legality of regulations and winning, and other cases of apparent corruption among judges.
