    All shareholders are liable for the actions of the company they own and control. When a company commits a crime, the shareholders should be held personally accountable. No fines. Jail time.

      I disagree. Shareholders don’t have a say in how the company is run, and buying shares in a company doesn’t really change anything about how the company is run.

      I do think execs and board members should be jailed for committing crimes though. If you have a part in the decision making, you’re culpable.
