Sadly that's what happens when the "penalty" is a laughable fine in their big picture.

- pbhjpbhj 7y agoYes, but surely a repeated offense demonstrates criminal responsibility (or negligence at least) on behalf of the C-suite ... which they could counter by demonstrating exactly what they had personally done to ensure preventative changes were in place (like inspected waste in person; checked training had been carried out, in person; made sure informational posters were in place onboard vessels, in person).
- justaguyhere 7y agoDon't judges give heavy punishment for third strike, to individuals? Why isn't this applicable to companies (or is it)? In the case of environmental crimes like this, the every time the fine should be 10X the previous one, considering our planet is already fucked with climate change.
