Unless the likelihood of getting caught is less than 50% in which case this was still the smart financial move for the company based on expected value. The way to get people to pay attention is to hold people involved in corporate misdeeds personally liable.

50% x (-$65M) + 50% x $34M = -$15.5M

You'd need better than 50-50 odds. ;)

Math is off it's

0.5 * -65M + 1 * 34M = +1.5M

They get the +34M 100% of the time, not 50%, they didn't have to surrender it.
