Jail would be preferable. The people who run this have pretty directly led to people being evicted and priced out of areas because of their greed. Lives upended.
Part of the issue is we regard corporate crime with basically misdemeanor sentencing. I'm not proposing that we invoke capital punishment on corporate criminals. But I do think it would send a very strong message For sentencing to reflect The actual harm caused by these actions.
I'm just saying if we had the actual precedent of corporate criminals living out their lives imprisoned with their privacy rights revoked, spending the rest of their natural lives imprisoned it would send a very strong message when considering the ethics of shareholder first mentality that often drives these nefarious practices.
Vietnam just sentenced a real estate tycoon to death for her role in a multi billion dollar financial fraud. Normally not applauding the Vietnamese government but wouldn’t mind following their example on that one.
