The CEO is daughter of senator https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Manchin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Manchin 'Manchin was the only Democrat to vote in confirmation of controversial Trump cabinet appointees Jeff Sessions[87] and Steven Mnuchin,[88] one of two Democrats who voted to confirm Scott Pruitt as EPA Administrator, and one of three who voted to confirm Rex Tillerson.' and politically well connected. Would be surprised if anything would happen, at all. Just like the last pricing scandal, which was barely a year ago: http://fortune.com/2016/09/27/mylan-epipen-heather-bresch/ http://fortune.com/2016/09/27/mylan-epipen-heather-bresch/

Scandals should work in that way so they make the senator unreelectable, instead of making the company invulnerable. It's as if nobody else wants to sit in that chair!

  It is the senator's child. Assuming no other malfeasance, I see no reason to take it out on anyone who isn't actually responsible. To be fair, assuming no other malfeasance requires a pretty big leap of faith...

    One only have to unearth a small connection between two entities to drown them both (and take the chair).

      What is the scandal that warrants “drowning them both?” That a Senator has a daughter who is a CEO? What else?

    Ethics and scandal are about appearances.
