I mean he did pretty much get recorded admitting guilt. Unfortunately, it’s much harder to do that in real life
Well I can think of one CEO that was actually held accountable recently.

If he’s guilty, then what about all the research scientists and labs at Monsters University and Fear Tech who never discovered that children’s laughter has much more power than their screams and helped construct an industry based on making sure human parents won’t get a full night’s sleep, ever?
In real life he gets applauded at shareholders meeting and even gets a cameo in a Zombie Era Simpsons episode.
