I agree.

Shareholders can vote and decide the direction of a company. They should also be held liable for any problems the company causes.

If the company is fined it should come out of company and then shareholder pockets. I might even add courts should be able to award damages by directly fining share holders.

If a company does something severely illegal then very large shareholders should risk jail time.

It’s your company after all as a shareholder. You own it.

It’s no different if your dog bites someone or child breaks the law. You have to pay the fines.

Under that twisted logic Israel would be perfectly justified with nuking Palestine. They voted for terrorists, therefore they should be liable for everything their country caused.
