Right on the money.
Sure, CP does happen and cyber crimes happen on a daily basis and it's a disgrace that it does. But to claim that it goes as high as $20 billion is just not believable.
The automotive industry globally is a $100 billion business. I challenge any so called "expert" to prove me that CP represents one fifth of the auto industry. Can you imagine if one of every 5 driver you see during traffic jam is a CP customer?
What methodology are those monkeys using to come up with such numbers anyways? It's not like Amazon.com or Ebay where you can readily track the amount of business done.
