    I wish they could do something like first offence, 10% of your annual revenue for the next 10 years goes to restitution efforts. Second offence, it’s 30% plus the govt. gets to set a CEO and the top management for a year. Thrd strike and the company is shut down and liquidated and the board members or any big stockholders never get to work in that industry again.

      Government-appointed CEO sounds great if the government appointing them wasn’t corrupt. There’s no way in hell people would be okay with the Trump admin appointing a new CEO of Facebook.

        Zuckerberg would be least okay with it and that’s what matters. There are more important problems regarding Trump. Anyway, could be a court appointed custodian.

      Also, (maybe some would argue first) might be that someone goes to prison over a thing like this.

        Like…all shareholders?

        Why shouldn’t anyone with an investment in a corporation be culpable for any criminal behavior of the company they’ve invested in? That’s a step or two away from “I didn’t rape and murder that little girl, my LLC did.”
