> I'm not against personally prosecuting those in charge, but it's often extremely difficult to prove that specific individuals are responsible.

But isn't that the whole reason CEO's get paid so much, because they carry so much responsibility ? Most corporations have a clear chain of command, should be quite easy to figure out who is responsible (which can be separate from who actually committed the crime).




>they carry so much responsibility?

How's that working out? It doesn't really seem to me that CEO's ARE carrying that responsibility.

Maybe it once was true, but it certainly is not anymore.


No, but they use it as a justification for their ridiculous salaries so I’d say we take them up on it and hold them personally responsible for their company’s crimes.
