I wonder if internal estoppel is a thing? Two options
Option A
1) ethicist objects to something
2) management declines the objection
3) whistle blower reveals the declined objection
4) public outcry ensues, stock price falls
5) board members become agitated
6) c-suite wakes up to another gut punch
Option B
1) ethicist raises an objection
2) management acts on the suggestion
3) revenue misses target
4) stock price falls
5) board members become agitated
6) C-Suite wakes up to another gut-punch
Choose.
