Ya know, I read this and I'm not sure I agree.

Isn't Visa a publically traded company?

If I was a shareholder in a publically traded company that decided to lose 2% of its revenue (Using your numbers, that's $40,000,000,000 (40 BILLION!)) for no apparent reason other than "we don't want to process for them" - I'd say that's ONE HELL of a shareholder suit. I don't think they could do it.
