Section § 17101
This law says that when prosecuting someone who is an officer, director, or agent of a company, it's enough to show the unlawful intent of the company or firm they represent. You don't need to prove the individual’s personal intent, just that the company they act for had unlawful intentions.
In the prosecution of any person as officer, director or agent, it is sufficient to allege and prove the unlawful intent of the person, firm or corporation for which he acts.
