Capstone directors and officers have a legal fiduciary duty to their shareholders. They are accountable not only for the safekeeping of assets but also for their efficient and effective use.

As a part of their fiduciary duties corporate directors and officers are under three general legal duties: the duty to act carefully, the duty to act loyally, and the duty to act lawfully.
This is not a private company! They cannot simply "run the business as they determine".
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
