It really is NOT. From what I've read prosecutors care a lot about their "success rate". I think the consensus here is Equifax hired this guy to take the blame pretty much. That's why we call him the fall guy. Look at Wells Fargo. Or even HSBC. Apparently, even Toyota tried to cover up its sticky accelerator? Don't forget about VW. I think when something like this happens the CEO and the board must go to prison even if there is no direct evidence. You must take responsibility for the actions of your reports. I can't see things improving any other way.
