Hehe... well, I don't know that theft is the equivalent of death. I think that forced repayment of all income ever generated plus forfeiting any retirement, etc. and say a dozen or so years behind bars might deter some people though (especially if you change incorporation laws to make Board and C level culpable for fraud and corruption). I am quite certain you aren't alone in your sentiment, however. There are a lot of people who face a bleak financial future due to the Enron's and MCIs of the world.

If you could figure out a way to penalize shareholders of note (institutional and primary owners, mainly) when a company goes fraudulent/monopolistic/corrupt then you might see a change of voting and policy. I know if I was a mutual fund manager, I'd have a real hard time investing in a company that could cost me my portfolio if it turned belly up. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
