The idea is that everyone knowingly involved goes to jail. This way others presented with opportunity to go along with such fraud /know/ there is a very, very real consequence. Rather than "CEO could go down for this but what the hell, I'll go along with it."
It's not retribution, it's justice.
- mdasen 3y agoI'd also note that the people around often profit from these things as well. It's not like the CEO is doing something only for the CEO's benefit. The other people involved lived lavish lifestyles with high salaries and were looking at a huge pay day. They didn't just go along with it. They were looking to profit from it.

- s1artibartfast 3y agoyeah, I agree you don't want to prosecute the CEO exclusively every time, but beyond that, I dont think it makes much of a difference with respect to deterrence. Nobody thinks they will get caught to begin with, so the severity doesn't matter much.
