Bigcorps are veto-driven as no one wants to be the one to kill the cash cow, and VPs will do unethical things as long as they are legal and benefit the company

Bigcorps are veto-driven as no one wants to be the one to kill the cash cow, and VPs will do unethical things as long as they are legal and benefit the company + their immediate team, justifying it as 'good business leadership.' So jailtime and meaningful fines shifts burden from 'a fee smaller than your bonus / company profit' to 'oh shit.' Truly bug and evil stuff happens, but most normal VP politics has email + file trails due to design docs, legal agreements, etc. Harder part seems like knowing what to subpeona and in time :)
