Some of the CEOs of some US companies should be in prison.

They made sure they got paid in shares a lot of the time based on bonuses related to the share price value of the company.

They used any means to force up the prices of those shares to way over the market value, thus inflating the whole stock market.

Then sold at the top when they saw the truth was about to come out. The rest of us lost big time. Those with pensions, investments, jobs all lost. Those fat cats were exposed as crooks but how many of them ended up inside a cell?
