This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let’s be civil.

And if you’re a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

    Tell me in so many words how broken the American system is. I mostly agree, just want to emphasize the root problem is the legality of the business practice. The core question remains, sure. The more important questions are imo why is this legal and how can it be changed. The very basics should be that the system doesn’t proliferate practices that inevitably pose such “greater good scenarios”, these should only arise with illegal practices in the first place. Also: the notion of a greater good scenario implies that anything changes - I don’t see anything meaningful changing as of yet. They changed the visibility of leadership on websites ffs . This is so sad.

    The core question is simple enough, rule of law needs to be upheld regardless. I just hope the person never gets caught.
