How are the people demanding CEOs to be jailed cynical? I'm really confused by why you chose that word.

The CEO should be jailed for bribes in Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Russia etc. The CEO should be jailed for Walmart hiring "illegals" with fake Social Security cards in California. (example) The CEO of this 500 BILLION company, with 2.2 Million employees, should be jailed for not making a store in Ohio wheelchair friendly. The CEO should be jailed for signing off on the gazillion pages long financial statement that took 100 lawyers and accountants to prepare.

etc etc etc. Unless the CEO knew or directed them to do so, he is one person with 24 hour days like all of us. And Walmart has thousands and thousands of top level managers to manage all aspects of his business.
