Tips

usage
A standard penalty formula in Chinese administrative and criminal law. 违法所得 = whatever profit the violator obtained by breaking the law. Confiscation strips that profit; 罚款 (fine) is a separate additional punishment on top. here is read mò (seize), not méi (not).
mistakes
Don't read as méi here - in this legal phrase it's mò (fourth tone, meaning 'to sink / to seize'). 没收 = to confiscate.
