    The point is that the CEO wasn’t in jail for murder, was he?

    What other options his victims had?

      the ceo is just the effect, not the cause. the us laws allow such bullshit and do not protect the weak (at all). what this one ceo did was, like what many other ceo’s do, immoral but legal. you cant jail someone for legal stuff.

      change the system and force them to adhere to modern moral standards. if they try to pull some bs now, it is quite easy to lock them away.

        What the OP said means literally that if mass murdering people is legal, people will inevitably murder whoever makes the law and helps on that mass murdering. (What is not a universal law, but as sociology predictions go, is quite reliable.)

        It’s not a hard concept to understand. Also, it has a very distant relation to morality or legality.
