    He didn't. He robbed the companies and thus the shareholders and made the money disappear leaving behind company shells with assets sold off and massive debt.

    That's why I think we should start tax reform by bringing back/in the death penalty for financial crimes.

    How do you execute a company? I'd suggest that it won't feel a thing.

    If you mean killing the company directors then I think that you might find that not many people would be willing to run companies - of any size.

    Sorry I should've said serious financial crimes. I always love hearing that "no one will want to invest here/ no one will want to do the job", etc. I think they will, because nature abhors a vacuum. It's like that old saying/joke, "Who wants to live to be a 150? Ask someone who's 149 years old".

    Obviously, if it has been a dispute for ten years, it is not a matter of "getting caught", but an argument about whether or not something was legal.
