Likely nothing will happen to them. It's a combination of several factors:
Courts removed DOJ's legal tools they used to go after individuals (Skilling).
DOJ started allowing companies to hire law firms to investigate themselves for wrongdoing because it was easier than doing an investigation. Also, it created a revolving door between the white collar legal community.
Culture change at DOJ after a pushback from said white collar legal community after flattening Arthur Anderson hilariously punctuated by the hiring in Obama's first term of Denis McInerney as the DOJ Chief of Fraud after he represented Arthur Anderson.
Several high profile losses: Skilling (again), Bear Sterns execs, AIG execs.
