I don't understand this position. These executives faked results.
Their companies did not produce value or make results. The shareholders
lost all their money while the fake reports said they were making
money. What little real money came in was secretly diverted to the
executives so the shareholders did not even get that. As these
businesses collapse, the shareholders are left with nothing. They were
duped out of their investments on deals that were known to be
fraudulent. The executives took their money and gave them lies instead
of real opportunity. No shareholder who lost their life savings would
consider this to be "American Business". The government is trying to
prosecute crooks. There is no war on American Business. Legitimate
companies producing real products and making real money have nothing to
fear.
