Imprisoning executives is rare enough (you gotta piss off the truly rich for that, e.g. Madoff or Benko), but seizing and selling off an entire company from its prior owners is something I haven't even heard of.
What can happen is that a company crashes down due to fines and/or public pressure, but that's not the same.
