I think Toddsterpatriot brought-up an excellent point. Are we to hold Enron employees (say, the receptionists) liable for the criminal activity of their bosses? They were foolish enough to participate in the ESOP, after all.

Nope. Just ownership. Ownership implies responsibility above and beyond that of an employee.
