All this indicates is that the problem is at the system level. It doesn’t mean the actor is somehow less culpable just because “someone else would have done it anyway.”

Correct. There are also plenty of people who realize that while things are possible within a system, they choose not to do them for moral / ethical reasons.
Not to put too fine a point on it but we are talking about the CEO of a gambling company here…
And anyway, the actions needed to fix the system are almost certainly punishing those people and the people that refuse to punish them.

The system is people just like the CEO - it’s a people problem
