    If we treated corporate crime even half as seriously as drug offenses, we'd have plenty of prisoners to satisfy those corporations' needs. It's win/win!

    Just putting it out there that when Bulgaria made executives personally liable for prison time if their company committed tax evasion, tax collection went up by 15%.

    Suddenly executives we're a lot more concerned with whether their books were correct.
