Again, they make an example because people are pissed off. Despite this saga making front page news, no one is going to care much about Satya making misleading claims about OpenAI IP ownership. The average person on the street will not lose their retirement fund from that revelation. The links to politicians, lobby efforts, the US economy, etc, etc... means something really egregious has to happen for jail time to be an issue w/ high level white collar crime. EDIT: Since I can't respond further to the chain - tons of people cared about Martha Stewart. They were sick of people in high society getting a slap on the wrist for things like this. It definitely was a cathartis... esp. from someone so unlikely.

Absolutely nobody was pissed off about Martha Stewart. And at least 700 people + a whole raft of well known investors are pissed off about the OpenAI situation, so if MS Execs commit securities fraud - a stretch to begin with - there will be a lot of support for such action. I'm trying very hard not to let my personal feelings about Microsoft cloud my judgment and if anything happened to Microsoft I wouldn't shed a tear (and might even open a bottle of bitter lemon). I don't see them committing an own goal like that. But, I don't think we're going to agree on this.
