And yet for Stonecipher it was a personally financially successful personal decision and none of the consequences will hurt him personally. When the rewards always go to the top (aka shareholders) and consequences always fall elsewhere, this is the predictable consequence.

We need some system such that shareholders and executives become personally responsible for these tragic yet predictable consequences.
