I don't recall any news on what happened to the market seller; I assume they absconded with some of the money. So Amazon may be taking a loss on some of the returned sales?
How quickly was the infringement noticed, how quickly did Amazon act?

The publisher in the USA who were assigned the copyright noticed/was informed of the issue and issued Amazon with a DMCA takedown notice. I suspect the seller did not have the chance to receive much money from Amazon due to the delays between sales and payments but there are not many facts flying around as to how long from when Amazon offered the ebook to when they pulled it from sale.
I do know that one of my co-workers was very upset with Amazon since they pulled the copy of 1984 from his Kindle disregarding the fact that at that time, 1984 was in the public domain in Canada, Australia and several other countries.
