The French had a way with dealing with people like these assholes. It's called the Guillotine and they only had to use it ONCE to show the people meant business.

And these CEO's, CFO's? Why, they get to Yacht away into the sunset with a gaggle of giggling girl-mistresses and all OUR cash. VENDETTA!!! I just can't keep living like this! I want a revolution.
While I agree with you on an emotional level, the pedant in me feels obliged to point out that the French didn't just use the guillotine once. They used it again and again and again, and for more and more spurious reasons. By no means everyone who ended up sans une tête was rich, aristocratic or otherwise guilty. Once mob takes the reins everyone is in danger.
