All of that is financial.

Criminal violations are not supposed to be protected by the corporate veil.

And if management committed crimes they are punished. I even spent multiple years in the feds with some of those guys.

And they aren't, at least in the US. Just look at Martin Shkreli actually serving 5 years in prison for securities fraud and personally repaying ~$70mil.

P.S. none of this is related to the Daraprim controversy btw. Thought to mention because I have been seeing that misconception quite a bit online.

Correct! Now, only if we behaved like that was true.
