Is this comment for real? The company was flouting law, and he's the CEO. When it's some dirty banker, HackerNews wants the CEO in jail. When it's an SV darling, we are upset that his send-off didn't give him enough credit?

Don't forget the banker doesn't even need to have broken a law. By virtue of their profession, they should be in jail. At least according to most of HN.

You are overlooking the tiny detail that selling derivatives that act like insurance was a multi-trillion dollar financial WMD that could have reduced the global economy to ashes, while there appear to be no victims materially affected in this case, and the people running this company are easy-to-jail small fry.
People were complaining more about too-big-to-jail. Had the bankers actually have been prosecuted, you might have a point.

There were most certainly victims in this Zenefits case. My employees count amongst them. We were wronged by Zenefits and people with medical problems found themselves out of insurance because of this company, then Parker tried to shift blame to us but the issue all along was him using unlicensed, inexperienced brokers in the states we have employees in.
