Unless we start throwing the legal department and higher ups into prison then it basically becomes a free pass to break laws. Currently, we assess fines to corporations that violate these laws.
It then becomes a cost/benefit analysis weighing the likelihood of getting caught * cost of potential fine vs business value of ignoring the law. Ignoring the law is frequently the correct decision.
Agreed. There needs to be criminal liability for folks like Stumpf and other big bankers/corporate overlords.
But do you think our government will ever stand up? Doubtful
