AB Shannon Shipp argues for the “Modified Vendetta Sanction” as a method of corporate-collective punishment. He claims that this sanction evades the difficulties of Peter French's “Hester Prynne Sanction.” In this paper I argue that, though the Modified Vendetta Sanction evades the problems that Shipp poses for it, it fails to evade some of the difficulties that I pose for French's method. Moreover, there are some difficulties that plague the Modified Vendetta Sanction which do not count against the Hester Prynne Sanction. Therefore, if my analysis holds, then Shipp's method neither improves significantly on the “Hester Prynne Sanction” nor is unproblematic in its own right. The significance of this paper is that it foils yet another attempt by some corporate punishment theorists to establish the plausibility of a method of corporate-collective punishment.
