Why? If I drive drunk and a cop pulls me over, lack of knowledge is no defense. As the head of a company, why is a lack of knowledge of the goings-on of the company a defense? If you don't know the goings-on when you are in a position to, at the very least that should be categorized as criminally negligent.

Its like making a mayor liable for the crimes of their city’s residents, after a certain scale it just becomes stupid.

Now if the mayor pushes for the crime or doesn’t put policy forbidding the crime, that is a different story.

One of you is speaking of knowledge of the crime and the other is referring to knowledge of the law. Different things entirely.
