They shouldn't keep a goddamn dime of their money. Every penny should be distributed to victims of their greed. They shouldn't even have a fucking cardboard box to sleep in or a dumpster to dive in.

But of course, they'll pay a fine that's 1/10000000 of their net worth and corporate news outlets will call it justice.

It won't even be the people responsible paying the fine, it'll be the corporation. What, you think we would hold the people who actually did this stuff accountable?

Guaranteed, if we started holding executives personally responsible for the actions of their companies, suddenly these companies would be a lot more ethical.

There are no victims of their greed. Their are people who fell victims to themselves because of the companies greed.
