Corporate Crime nowadays is not only committed by people who are in the organization structure but also by people who are not listed in the organization. Based on the Decree no.1081K/PID. SUS/2014, Supreme Court provides an interpretation on the corporate director outside the organization’ structure. Supreme court subjected punishment against LS since he was considered as the corporate controller, although he is not listed on the organizational structure. The problem with LS as the personnel of Corporate manager although he was not listed on the organization structure is by the evidence that all money from the selling and shipping transaction of illegal oil fuel comes in LS’ bank account, and in fact, all the decision making of the corporation is authorized by LS. Whereas, by right, LS did not act as the manager of the corporation. This fact showed that the directing mind and will of that corporation is LS. The management of the corporation such as the boards of the directors are only the “puppets” to commit LS’ criminal act.         Keywords: Punishment, Money Laundering, Corporation

Abstract As they say, money can’t buy happiness. However, the lack of it can make people’s lives much harder. From the moment we open our first bank account, we have to make lots of financial decisions in our life. Should I save some money or should I spend it? Is it a good idea to ask for a loan? How to invest my money? When we make such decisions, unfortunately we sometimes make mistakes, too. In this study, we selected seven common decision making biases - anchoring and adjustment, overconfidence, high optimism, the law of small numbers, framing effect, disposition effect and gambler’s fallacy – and tested them on the Hungarian population via an online survey. In the focus of our study was the question whether the presence of economic knowledge helps people make better decisions? The decision making biases found in literature mostly appeared in the sample as well. It proves that people do apply them when making decisions and in certain cases this could result in serious and costly errors. That’s why it would be absolutely important for people to learn about them, thus increasing their awareness and attention when making decisions. Furthermore, in our research we did find some connection between decisions and the knowledge of economics, people with some knowledge of economics opted for the better solution in bigger proportion
