- rayiner 7y agoIt works similarly: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-criminal-charge-against-toyota-motor-corporation-and-deferred https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-.... Corporations can be held criminally liable. For that purpose, the mental state of the humans authorized to take action on behalf of the corporation is imputed onto the corporation. If Hobby Lobby's owners had intent to defraud customers, and directed the corporation to defraud customers, they could be held liable and so could the corporation. The fact that Hobby Lobby as an inanimate object is incapable of forming intent would be irrelevant.
