    This shit happens all the time. Look at car settlements, it starts at the top. I’m not against a whistle blower framework at all, but it seems like executives get all the pay and none of the culpability (see headline).

      It’s literally the point of a corporation, to shield owners from responsibility.

        Point of a corporation is to make money. Point of a “limited liability company” is to prevent losses on the company side from financially damaging the owners. LLC’s do not (and should not) protect owners from criminal acts.
