Interesting idea, sort of a strict liability approach.
If I'm a superqualified, incredibly careful, good-guy explosives chemist, I still don't get to whip up a batch of Octol in my garage. The law deems explosives manufacture an inherently dangerous activity subject to strict liability. No mens rea needed, intent is irrelevant, conduct is all.
Strict liability principles have worked fairly well. Maybe they're worth trying in the financial sphere. I wonder how we would define an inherently dangerous financial activity?
