I like the idea of a Chief Liability (or Lamb…) Officer, a person who serves with the understanding that they’ll be the person who serves prison time for the felonious crimes of the corporation “I’d sign that purchase order, Bill, but our CLO is literally holding a gun to my head and sobbing saying it’s better this way”

They already actually have that it is called the CISO or Chief Intentional Sacrificial Officer, sometime misinterpreted as Chief Information Security Officer.

  Who is the CISO at Equifax who is currently in prison for leaking our data?

Why should all the other C-levels avoid jailtime for crimes committed by the corporation they're responsible for by just having a literal official patsy? That seems like such a blatant way to put C-levels above the law for real instead of the defacto way they seem to be right now.

  (Hey, friend. I meant this as a lighthearted take. I have no power to write this into law) I don’t think at all anyone should do this cheaply haha. And imagine if the CLO told the board the other C-suite were squirreling secrets away. And individuals can always be indicted for fraud

    > Why should all the other C-levels avoid jailtime I don't care if the C-levels (other than the CEO and President of the board) go to prison. I want to see the CEO and ALL board members in prison for life with no possibility of parole.

      Oh of course if the CLO runs out of statistical life another would be appointed by the board only from the existing C-suite, even if the board is part court-appointed…

  Because nobody would sign the offer letter except psychopaths and idiots.

    Yeah we’d just have to legally mandate its existence…

    That or the desperate. Seems like there are a lot of people who'd be willing to risk spending a year or two at a company with a very high salary even if there was a chance that in that year they might end up in some minimum security prison
