huh

so western world some company owner does bad thing he can just bribe his way out of it most of the time, or if anything slap on the wrist

in china they regularly death penalty their CEOs for being corrupt or selling illegal drugs... and the CEOs actually flee the country if they can when this happens... apparently it's been quite effective

here we're hoping they'll at least be sued for more money than they made, but over there it's not even prison, it's automatic death sentence...

You can't sit on the chair of God and decide who lives or doesn't. West is more forgiving. And that's the right thing.

My ex is murdered ten years ago. I think it won't be long before the murderer will be on their feet again, end if sentence. It was ten years ago. Everyone basically moved on, probably the murderer as well. New chance. That's the hard reality.

Western = white = weak

On a serious note, I actually agree that some CEOs should be held responsible for the shit they do. Seems like some forget how w/ being a CEO, apart from the nice paycheck, comes great responsibility... The responsibility they quickly avoid when things go south due to their negligence.

W/ death penalty I would expect due diligence from the prosecution, though, as such conviction of an innocent man would've been despicable.

@D-4got10-01 is about how China was selling fentanyl precursors. and how they dealt with the post opiod wars problem

the Chinese guy who was selling fentanyl precursors fled china to India now

technically when you incorporate you need to assign directors or something and they hold the liability of the company iirc. at least in Canada. I was looking into starting a corp and turns out you're not exactly shielded from liability...:

Directors owe:
A fiduciary duty (act honestly, in good faith, in the corporation’s best interests)
A duty of care (act with the diligence of a reasonably prudent person)

They can be personally liable for:
Unpaid wages and vacation pay
Unremitted taxes (GST/HST, payroll deductions)
Environmental violations
Oppression claims from shareholders
Breach of fiduciary duty

a way to get someone (a director) for example is to send them an email warning them about breaches. then you can sue them for ignoring the emails, because "they knew" and didn't do their duty

which is why they like to hide their contact information lol

I do think C-level or management should be held responsible for company fuckups. An ex-colleague from my old job does consulting for a bunch of telecom companies. One of the companies did not check if their new routing actually works with emergency numbers. Calling 112 would be rotated to +32112 and that call would always fail.

An elderly person fell at a retirement home and suffered internal bleeding. The caregiver/nurse tried to call the hospital/ER but the calls kept failing. An other colleague also tried to call and it failed with their company mobile phones. One of them had to go their lockers a few floors down to make the call with their private mobile phone. By then, the ambulance arrived too late and she passed away soon after.

My old job (telecom) had also a lot of server outages and their clients were a few important services like firefighter station, schools, independent healthcare workers, ... We never heard any complaints about them missing a call (would they even know?). But 95% of their clients were not that sensitive to this outages.

I would hope that those leadership positions would get in legal trouble if a human live is lost and face prison time (not a death sentence).

(fun fact, emergency lines have a second number that telecom companies can test against)
