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.
Why punish the company when it was the people inside the company that did the wrong thing? Punish the people and let another batch fix it.
If you kill the company you do punish those people by killing their main revenue/asset. The good thing is that you also punish the investors who will lose all their money. This will dissuade anybody to invest into a company if there is a possibility that the company is fraudulent. This could even push more transparency in the companies to attract investors.
