This is just more fraud by boards controlled by CEOs. The CEO screws up his personal finances despite being a billionaire and now we steal from all existing shareholders to fund the entire tax bill. This is just fraud out in the open. They take tax free bank loans against their stock to avoid selling it and any time they screw this scheme up, boards seem to automatically give them more free stock to fully cover taxes or losses while they keep the tax free loan money. It's insane.

We used to stop this in the 1950s with a 90% federal income tax bracket and post-1929 financial regulations. Republicans cut both over decades and now we are back to the late 1920s waiting for the next great depression to officially start. Everything we did to end the great depression was undone, so we are back to a new great depression.
