Corporations are no different from people in this regard; people often break the law when the penalty is light.
The problem is that the penalties for "corporate crime" are so low.
If the penalty for bank robbery was only 50% of the profit, no bank in America would be safe.
if( (Cost_of_breaking_law * %_chance_of_getting_caught) < profit ) {break_law;}
