The board and top executives will get a nice big golden parachute. It's unlikely that they will even be fined. If you make the right political contributions and play golf with the right people you can kill a plane load of people and get away with a slap on the wrist. Haliburton might be a special case but I'll believe it when I see it.

Only the small investors who get the news last will really get hurt.
