What responsibility does the company bear for defrauding shareholders?

Legal analysis: the company is suspected of fraud, and the legal representative and principal responsible person should bear criminal responsibility. Shareholders who are not involved in fraud shall not bear criminal responsibility.

Legal basis: Article 31 of the Company Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that if a unit commits a crime, it shall be fined, and the directly responsible person in charge and other directly responsible personnel shall be punished. Where there are other provisions in the specific provisions of this Law and other laws, those provisions shall prevail.
