No one said anything about criminal liability: this is just about being a scumbag. A CEO is a receptacle of trust: they get to see things rank-and-file don't get to see. Leveraging that information asymmetry to profit at the risk of people who put just as much (in a lot of cases more) effort and skill into the success of the company as you do may not make you a criminal in a legal system that has decided a few decades ago to commit civilization suicide by grinding away labor protections, but it sure does make you a scumbag. Live in modest house and give the people who sacrificed for you like a week of severance or something. Anything.
