I doubt Murray Edwards is responsible, I know the Flames are not responsible. Thymebalm, this is not to pile on, but I do think you are somewhat misguided in your anger. Canadian law does impose upon directors and officers of companies a high duty to act ethically and to disclose material information once known. Those parties could be held criminally responsible if they fail in their duties. A shareholder does not typically have those duties. They invest in companies of their choosing and will not suffer any adverse consequence, other than potentially losing their investment. Of course a shareholder could also be a director or officer of a company. For Edwards, he has lost significant funds (for us regular folks), but I don't think he is a director, and as such, did not control the management of that company. If I am incorrect, then perhaps he could be held responsible, but it would be way too early to draw those sorts of conclusions.
