    This shit is straight up evil, will the company be held accountable for their crimes? This is what our justice system is for. Based on what we know so far, more crimes would be bound to come out in an investigation.

      The justice system that just allowed a convicted criminal to run out the clock on a heinous crime and become president

      It’s not the justice system, it’s the legal system

        Can we start using the justice system instead, then?

          That system seems to be malfunctioning severely. Bypassing that system has physical risks to the user and should not be attempted lightly.

        I wish it wasn’t the case. "Corporations are people too should go both ways… Death penalty if you do evil enough crimes.

        Individuals who committed these crimes on behalf of the company should be charged with fraud a the very least.

      From where I’m sitting, the justice system seems to be more interested in investigating poor individuals than rich companies. I can’t think of many modern examples of rich companies (or even people) being held accountable for something that didn’t involve stealing from other rich people.

        There’s examples but they aren’t proportional. Oh, a company with 3 billion in revenue poisoned the water supply for a whole county? Let’s fine them $10 million.

        That definitely teaches them a lesson about consequences, except the lesson is that they don’t matter.
