CEO's are the fall guys when immoral decisions need to be made.

They are easy to replace, get a golden parachute, and all the board members can continue their fucked up shit without anyone important going under.

But they almost never get prosecuted for willful, and intention malfeasance.

You have to be caught stealing from other rich people to get prosecuted as a CEO, or be so obviously guilty the populace would riot.
