So you propose punishing people whom have nothing to do with the crime? Interesting take on the rule of law, to say the least.

- Ekaros 3y agoThey owned the company that did the crime. They lose the company. Seems entirely fair for funding the crime...
- hef19898 3y agoThat's not even how criminal law works... If I borrow money to someone, that someone buys a gun with that money to rob a bank, I am, rightfully, not guilty of bank robbery or any other crime. Unless I borrowed the money knowing I funded a bank robbery, in which case I would be a co-conspirator. As a simple share owner, I am far from that. Heck, even as a majority shareholder I am far from that. And by the way, if I am a memeber of the board and my management and I engange in anti-trust violations together, I am legally and criminally liable already under existing law. If I am a member of the board, and my management does something illegal without my knowledge, I am off the hook as well (again rightly so). If I engage in a cover up, well, then things change again (and again rightly so). Some people have weird ideas about the rule of law is supposed to work in a democracy.
