McKinsey and Company to pay $650M for role in opioid crisis

It's trivial to find who to blame - just follow the money. Hit the investors with sentences proportional to their stake of ownership, and just like magic, executives who enable criminal behavior will become rather less popular and internal oversight much more so. Of course this will never happen, since the lack of culpability is the point.

I’d really rather not jail people who didn’t do anything illegal

Are they getting huge bonuses or dividends?

Jailing people just for having a stake in a company that did something illegal could kill the economy. People would be affraid to invest in companies, and move money to simple things like real estate (or to foreign investments).

If the companies they’re investing in aren’t doing anything dodgy they’ve got nothing to worry about.

How would they know that though? It's a huge personal risk that can be alleviated simply by investing in anything else in the world besides US companies.

And so we allow people to trivially circumvent the law by shielding themself behind a shell corporation, and never are consequences seen.

Is that why you think platforming and worshipping Kyle Rittenhouse is justified? Because you think murdering people in the name of racism should be legal, as well as mass murdering hundreds of thousands of people by denying health care?

Please explain your previous statement you posted on that topic, which I asked you to explain but you failed to answer, because I really want to understand how the twisted minds of people like you work, and how you justify such extreme cognitive dissonance and cold blooded murder.

It’s baffling that HN has not banned you for these regular tirades and personal attacks.
