[Diggers350] corporate crime

[Mr Zouk]

you can find out about county court judgements on these companies..
dunn and bradstreet holds company information like this 
 
fines are contracts, which are treated as private, (remember they have membership in their governing bodies... also treated as corps) whilst county court judegments become public.
 
Graham Tudge (So shall we reap)  reminds us that in US , companies were originally granted  charters to operate, only for a limited time , for specified purposes and within state boundaries and their first article of association stated their first objective  was to serve the public.   Maybe it is time to set  a  Variable Termination Date  for each company, renewable annually only for good behaviour. 

depends what they term the public is, (U.S.A. or the state? 2 very different charters) he is correct but these days jurisdiction is hidden under different guises and you need to know where you are in jurisdiction before you can make claims about companies that know how to use different jurisdictional powers

the problem is not what they are doing, so much as what do we really know about what is really going on so as to counter the issues we come up against.... ....
 
is it perhaps that all commerce is fraud, and we don't know how to deal with these issues
 
anyhow if you don't get an answer with the information you requested you can always checkout the information in the link to get another view of some of the hidden magic.

There is no central register of  companies which have fallen foul of the law.
(It offends me to write “companies, who”)
Companies which have been fined (most? ) include  BP (£57million ) and  Microsoft (680million euros (1987) ,  Philip Morris, Nike and Times Warner were all fined over 
$1billion. Banks, Supermarkets, City accountants and pharma companies are among those in the dock.   (Type in “ …x…. fined” in your search engine)
There seems to be no central register .   Can you think of a reason why  newspapers are curiously shy about giving this scandal  sustained publicity?
Konrad Black is serving three and a half years in jail for fraud.  How long would Microsoft and Nike get inside if corporations could be jailed?
 
I have written to OFT, FSA, Ofwat, Ofgem, Ofcom, Ofsted, Companies House, Dept of Business Innovation and Skills asking for a detailed list of significant fines imposed and mean to  publish a central register .
