The rule of law, where elites fear the law and not a ruler, is in the minority today and across human history. I certainly think it’s something to celebrate.
The US justice system sucks, let's not endow it with special "uniqueness". However, I am happy that corporate criminals are facing some penalties for their activities that could harm the public.
EDIT: Also, just because after waiting years and years, we see one or two criminal executives go through the Justice system we shouldn't get too excited. Companies lie and cheat the public all day, that's how they get so rich. The system has to produce one or two examples of something approximating justice every now and again basically to forestall revolution. The poor go to jail, the rich play games. A handful of prosecutions at the top doesn't change that dynamic.
