Peanut company at heart of salmonella controversy

I just heard that the peanut company that is at the heart of the salmonella outbreak that has killed/sickened so many Americans is filing for bankruptcy.  The Time.com article I was reading said that it was filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  I know that there are a lot of different kinds of bankruptcy, but I really don’t understand them all; thank goodness I never have had to learn much about them!

I just hope that this does nothing to let the executives that placed the orders to ship the bad products out even after knowing that they were contaminated off the hook!  I think they should serve jail time!
