The stock market operates on two factors, greed and fear. If the market is greedy, the shareholders make more money. If the market is fearful, the shareholders makes less money.

A company with a scandal would cause shareholders to pull out (because they are fearful, not greedy), causing that comapny to prbably file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or something along those lines. I would say their only saving grace is having their assets bought up by a larger comapny long after they go out of business.

Adelphia Communications, Enron, Refco, and if you want to stretch it, the mutliple banks and public financial institutions that collapsed because of the 2008 Financial Crisis are all examples of this.
