It is not illegal to be a bad CEO.

CEOs, surprisingly are protected by the law as well.

It is illegal to be a bad engineer or a doctor, in certain cases. Why not CEO?

If you are such a bad CEO that over 200 People die because of your bad management, then that should definitely be illegal. For what do they get the millions if not for taking responsibility?

LOL To these guys, “taking responsibility” means simply making a sad face and issuing a press release saying “we’re sorry.”[1]. Not actually taking responsibility and going to prison.

So you want to argue that it was not criminal fraud but blatant incompetence? Interesting angle of defense, but I wouldn't give it a high chance of success.
