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.

    My righteous side wants him to face an appropriate sentence

    That’s not righteousness. Let me ask you this. If someone killed your spouse, or told you that you can’t get treatment for your very curable, but otherwise fatal disease, because they’d rather have a little more money than they don’t need, and will never spend, and then that person did that a million more times, do you think the world is better with or without that person?

      I think they covered that, as long as we all agree that an appropriate sentence is zero jail time and maybe a nice cup of hot chocolate or something

      Let me pose a carefully constructed hypothetical designed to prove my point whether I’m right or not.
