If you think the only possible negative consequence of that act is federal prosecution, you are astoundingly ignorant of how things work in the United States. Here are a few possible consequences off the top of my head:
1. It could be used by corporate boards as grounds for his removal as a corporate officer. Or it could be used as ammunition in a shareholders' revolt.
2. It can be used as a grounds for denying his companies federal licensure for commercial activities that require it.
3. Those who politically oppose the massive federal subsidies his companies receive (and presumably want to receive more of) can demagogue this issue to mobilize public opinion against him.

Could you please keep this sort of puerile garbage off of HN?
