Martha Stewart spent 5 months in jail for perjury regarding
stocks. However, US seems to be unable to take care of the drug
trafficking problems, theft, murder among other criminal matters.
Do you think it capable of properly prosecuting a convicted
monopoly? Singapore hangs drug traffickers, enjoys status as 2nd
lowest crime level next to Japan. Problem in US is those with
status and money with a sharp legal team seem immune.
Hence is why companies turned to EU. EU has noted the problems
with the convicted monopoly, but measures of only fines, albeit
huge ones have shown to have little or no effect. It would seem
the only way to stop such would be jail sentences. Or ban
products for sale in EU.
