She owns half of the company is why she was fired!

She is married to the owner of the company, it's (most likely) communal property anyway
Anyone married owns a 1/2 interest of whatever their spouse is engaged in for business (modulo pre-nups and what not).
Nonsense. She's a shareholder personally. This isn't theoretical.
It's really really common for partners to be shareholders in their spouses businesses because AFAIK you need two directors (where I am, at least).
The DOJ goes further than that. They believe she was threatening the lives of their officers.
