You are overengineering it. Just throw the CEOs in jail for a few months and observe how these practices disappear overnight.

It's not that easy: with bail and well payed lawyers they spend quite no day in jail and it is no more than a fine
Bail only works while waiting for the court date. I was talking about the actual sentence if found guilty.
Going after individuals instead of fining the company is still a better deterrent. Corporate fines are paid by shareholders and customers, not by the people who made the decision.
As a side note: If we believe that well paid lawyers can win all cases, there is nothing to discuss under this thread anyway. No fine or sentence can save us.
