We dont need a settlement, we need restitution and reform.

Its time that when companies do systemic harm to their customers and the public, that the penalty should be transfer of ownership to a public NGO consisting of its customers and public representation.

Something along the lines of chapter 9 institutions under South African law.

To shareholders, make sure the company operates morally, or you lose your ownership.
