Maybe, but its more common than this one example and more than what most people can stomach. The real problem is these people are sociopaths, and the next set of sociopaths will do it again. They don't care who they hurt because they lack empathy and if killing people drives up profits then so be it. If you really want to show concern or right a wrong then find a way to better criminalize violations of accepted ethical norms. The best way to punish sociopaths is to take all their assets, embarrass them in public, and permanently bar them from practicing in the same industry. For example if a lawyer is disbarred they do not get a second chance.

>" better criminalize violations of accepted ethical norms" What a load of BS. Wat's next ? Burning witches? I think we are way over our heads with criminalization already and have created big underclass of people who have no second chance because of that. So no fuck you. P.S. Sure I'd like to see many of our masters in jail for fucking up with people's lives but that will not happen

  There is no criminal underclass of convicted billionaire sociopaths. What are you talking about? Of course it won't happen if we continue to permit, excuse, and enable their behavior while crying about how hard life is.

    >"There is no criminal underclass of convicted billionaire sociopaths" To that I agree. However you can not make laws specifically criminalizing rich for "violations of accepted ethical norms". It will just open floodgates diverting regular and poor to underclass. This whole criminal background check should be made illegal with some very specific exceptions. It hunts people for the rest of their lives. Europe handles this situation much better in general from what I've heard.

      My understanding is that for regular theft, there are different classes of charges depending on the amount stolen. Perhaps we could apply a similar approach at the top end? E.g. laws that only kick in when there has been more than a billion in damages or thousands of deaths?

        >"more than a billion in damages or thousands of deaths?" They were proposing criminal charges for "violating ethical norms" which is a bit different.
