Seriously, this should be a criminal offense.
Send the CEO of this company to jail for a year for this shit, see how fast it stops
Why TF is it that if I cheat, fraud, steal, I go to jail but of a company does it it's at best a long-lasting draw out court case that ends in a settlement that costs the company a few cents on the dollar they made?
I'm so so so SO tired of this
Fuck protections for companies. If you wilfully fuck people over, if you steal or cheat, you go to jail, PERIOD. If that means you don't want to start a company anymore, good riddance. There are more than enough people who happily run companies without cheating
I think we should also introduce death penalty for companies. Did a company commit a serious enough crime ? Then we just kill it. Is does not deserve to exist anymore.
Agreed, though then you could end up making a huge amount of people jobless for the actions if a tiny few people.
Better just jail the seniors at the top, it'll be a nice reminder for the replacement C suite
You end up making a huge amount of people jobless, including the C suite, and investors moneyless.
It'll be a nice reminder for everybody, and everybody will be very picky about which company they work for / invest in. Maybe leading to more transparency in companies so that they can prove that they don't commit fraud / crimes.
Too many companies have so much money/power that their crimes have much worse consequences than making people jobless.
