These questions would generally be settled in Civil Court proceedings. Corporations are entities, and cannot be jailed for criminal violations. Individuals would have to be identified for that. But civil litigation can place responsibility on individuals and/or can assess blame (of a monetary value) against the entire company. what happens when i sell the company and things happen in that time after i sold the company ADDED: If whatever happened began and occurred after you sold the company you would not be liable for anything. -UNLESS- investigation disclosed that whatever you are referring to, began under and during your ownership. In that case you would almost certainly fall under suspicion and if a connection to you could be established you, too, would be liable.

A corporation can be held LIABLE for the acts of its principals and management but not in the criminal sense as is normally thought of. You cannot jail a corporation.To recover individual damages from a corporation it would be necessary to file a civil suit against it.However, if the officers of the corporation, and members of the directors or management are found to have operated in a criminal fashon and with criminal intent, THEY, as individuals, can be criminally charged and imprisoned and or fined. There is an applicable Federal statute - the RICO Act (Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations) that might be applicable if the evidence exists.
