This is a genuine question.

I have a hard time with this. My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence, but my pessimistic side thinks this might have set a great example for CEOs to always maintain a level of humanity or face unforseen consequences.

P.S. this topic is highly controversial and I want actual opinions so let's be civil.

And if you're a mod, delete this if the post is inappropriate or if it gets too heated.

Nobody is being murdered for their profession. Choices are what people have a problem with. Choose to exploit the masses for the shareholders long enough and someone is going to pop off.

Edit: links, and this quoted fact:

There’s no indication yet of any companies facing actual penalties for the behavior.

    No one was exploited. And yes, you're condemning him for his profession. Would you say the same thing if he were a manager at McDonald's?

    A McDonald's manager didn't condemn my aunt and my grandmother to death in the name of profits.

    Even if you were correct, which you aren't, you have no way of possibly knowing that.
