Could this be a side-effect of the concept of legal personhood of corporations? I wonder - shouldn't criminal liability always stop at the desk of a human person, preferably the person who signed off on the decision?
- derwiki 6y agoWhen I took engineering ethics in college, that was my understanding. You sign off on the bridge and it collapses, you are responsible for the bridge collapsing.
- valuearb 6y agoThe legal personhood of corporations is a misleading myth. Corporations exist so groups if investors can invest funds in a venture without incurring liability fir its actions or incur indebtedness from its borrowings. The employees, including execs, still have liability. Assuming prosecutors have the motivation and guts to charge them.
