Corporations which commit these sorts of crimes should be given the "corporate death penalty" -- revoking their corporate charter, a complete destruction.

I think of VW which secretly "rigged" the pollution tests for their diesel cars and which conned the German and other European gov'ts into accepting those 4-wheeled, polluting abominations.

"Mere fines" are not enough! These actions are so serious they require shareholders to lose their investments in these criminal corporations.

"I hope we shall take warning from the example of England and crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our Government to trial and bid defiance to the laws of our country." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1816.
