On the contrary, there is no difference at all. Directors are appointed by shareholders. If a director is culpable because they recieve fees from a company with an involvement in another (shonky) company, then it follows that the shareholders who voted the directors on to the board, and who recieve dividends stemming from the performance of those directors, are also culpable. Sorry Digger - because you have more shares than most, you will have to spend a bit longer in the pen than the rest of us.
