    I have a little bit of a different take on this. If we’re going to kill companies for their crime, which we should cuz apparently they’re people and therefore should have to pay for the crimes like people do, why not just kill companies? Instead of pretending a CEO is not just going to be replaced by another CEO with the exact same morals, cuz they all are, let’s actually kill the company. Revoke it’s corporate charter. Kill the thing that makes it a company. Kill the thing that protects it from retribution. Kill the things that keep all those investors and stockholders who are constantly praying for more and higher numbers safe from consequences.

      My guess is, a CEO would take it almost as hard to find out they’ve lost 100% of their power because the entity they were in charge of no longer exists vs finding out their lives are about to end.

      Especially if the CEO in question was legally blocked from being in charge of any other company ever. They can work, they can earn a living, they’d just be blocked from ever climbing the corporate ladder again.

      I believe that if it were thoroughly enforced, this fate would seem as bad as death to the awful CEO’s of the world.

        Another way to do it: Deny them every step of the ladder they fucked up.
        And they’d need to restart from a regular position equal to their experience (e.g. CEO -> Manager of department or something equal to the highest non C-suite managerial job).
        If they fuck it up, they have to be fired, are not elligible to be hired for >10 years at the same company and are only possible to be employed at a position lower to their current one.
        Optionally to add: 10% penalty of their gross worth (Including every asset in their position or by a direct proxy).
