    Not sure how this would change anything compared to life in prison?

    Do these people get put in jail?

      It’s rare for criminal action of corporate leaders to be charged, period.

      I think a better starting place would be to change this. Be much more willing to hold malicious corporate leaders accountable for their crimes. They far too often fall behind the security of a corporate veil, which if investigated, usually ends up with a fine, a slap on the wrist.

      Prosecutors are allowed to pierce the corporate veil for criminal actions, but they rarely do so.

        I agree, but being able to not be directly prosecuted is basically why corporations and the idea of incorporating exist at all.

        It has always been about minimizing risk to the business owner.

        It is bullshit and needs to change.
