      No.

      Because I don’t trust the FTC fines to be enough to discourage Jeff’s actions.

      An expensive class action would help hold him accountable.

      Plus, he got rid of the mandatory arbitration agreement. So Amazon is open to a class action on this as far as I know.

            That’s kind of moving the goal posts. The shareholders definitely put pressure on the CEO and leadership of a company. And I think they should be held responsible in some cases for the fallout of badly enacted anti-consumer policies. On the other hand though, the CEO is the leadership who is held responsible for enacting policy.

        It’s probably something they already budget for. I would argue for lawyers fees being capped and the fines being 5x the value of the damage done.
