Maybe the problem here is the law. If the intent of the law is to protect the shareholders, lets just dump the law and have the shareholders decide. If they want him punished, they can do that in a number of ways including firing him. If they don't care, thats their prerogative as well. They are, after all, the "victim" if there is one. I think any deception of this kind is a bad thing, and that the shareholders should demand transparency in the management of the company. Maybe the solution would be for Jobs to give back double the amount of stock value for the gain he would have received in the deception as a clear reminder to him and the management in general not to behave in this foolish manner ever again.
