On the other hand, the 2008 melamine scandal in China resulted in executions.

- ck2 14y agoWhile I am against any governments executing people, it sure would be nice to see decision making executives serve time here instead of just paying a fine. I mean BP simply paid a fine for all the people they killed. Not one executive even lost a night of sleep, or their vacation home. And I suspect people who buy their products are actually paying for the fine over time, so basically everyone but BP is paying for what they did.

In addition to BP's $4billion criminal settlement, BP executives were individually indicted for manslaughter and other crimes, and many of the subcontractors also face charges: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2012/11/15/bp-near-settlement-with-us-over-gulf-spill/1706209/ http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2012/11/15/bp-n...
- mistercow 14y agoIt's pretty melodramatic to tell someone that their posts are "destroying HN", not to mention rude. Why not just politely cite your evidence instead of tearing someone down?
