A recommended read for anyone looking to find out more about the near-immunity that the corporate elite enjoy: The Chickenshit Club: Why the Justice Department

  By executive do they mean big co executive? The pattern with most regulators & prosecutors is they go after the easy to prosecute. If your hard to prosecute then they stop doing it because it doesn't look good for their career numbers.

    Yes, sorry, that is what I meant by "corporate elite". I'm not so sure it applies in this case as I don't really see the corp in question as being big (relatively speaking). To your point, this is basically what the book covers. It is the logical conclusion of both fiduciary duty and the overwhelming effect that strong legal representation has on the justice system. At this extreme, the legal representation outright prevents prosecution instead of simply affecting the outcome.
