The question isn't "do they deserve to die," it's "is our legal system fallible enough to screw it up," and it has many times. The problem with our relying on prison and financial punishments with corporate malfeasance is that a) rich people can "play the game" enough to get absurdly preferential treatment in the prison system, and b) the financial penalties are never truly scaled up to the life-ruining penalties most regular people might experience.
