Essay

AstroStar Inc.'s board of directors consists of three members-Eckhart, Dolan, and Macero. At a regular board meeting, the board selects Galiard as president of the corporation. Later, an audit reveals that during his term as president he has openly embezzled $500,000 from AstroStar. The same audit reveals that the board knew when it selected Galiard that he had been previously convicted of embezzlement. Can the corporation hold directors Eckhart, Dolan, and Macero personally liable?
