    I wish the law got rewritten for companies so that it’s more of revenue + assets of the top level execs personally + the company as well. I know it isn’t going to happen, but I could dream.

      Honestly executives and board members who receive performance bonuses and golden parachutes should carry extra liability, such that these perks can be denied or even clawed back (and used to help the damages) when their decisions have these sort of outcomes. Nothing wrong with making more when things go well, but if you’re going to take a larger piece of the pie, then you need to be prepared to take a smaller piece when things go wrong (aka, cut executive pay before layoffs, etc.).

      If a company commits a large crime they should be shut down or nationalized. People can get the death penalty so companies should too
