You need to actually prove the board and directors contributed to the criminal act to go after them or created the environment that enabled the lower level employees to act. Which I think they would attest to. Unfortunately, You can't just blanket make CEOw responsible for every action of their employees. That would be insane. Think of it like charging the top brass in the mafia, RICOs are hard to prove because getting the guy at the top is difficult.
