That's no 'miner' profit.
only 18 million dollars profit? What are they spending the other 60 million dollars on. [WTF]

Marge said: only 18 million dollars profit? What are they spending the other 60 million dollars on.


They actually made 60 million profit in the Swedish currency (last year). So they made about $9m. $18m is this years projected profit.
