It is a different time. CEO malfeasance was not tolerated nearly as much: when it was clear that he would be caught for paying a bribe to the Honduran President, the Chiquita CEO jumped to his death from his office in a Manhattan skyscraper.
Nowadays, what drove Eli Black to his suicide is considered “business as usual” and is no bar to someone being CEO, staying out of jail, or even elected President.
