I agree plenty times the command chain was let scot free from scandals because of the diluted liability on the corporate actions as whole and the limited personal responsibility granted by hiding behind a corporation, something personal to pierce the corporate veil is needed at this point in time as correction to the rampant abuse from execs
If a CEO says publicly, "Our product is safe and good for the public, and there should be no concern" and it turns out they knew their product was actively harmful, or that they were marketing it in harmful ways (see: cigarettes, opiates) then they were willfully misleading the public and jail-time should be a very real possibility.
