If true, we have a name for this, its called fraud. Little people like you and me go to prison for it.

It is funny, that small and even sometimes medium business owners go to jail over things like fraud, failure to pay taxes, even labor violations. I remember local instances being reported on in the our (thankfully still around) local paper.

Yet, if you are big enough, the government can barely muster the strength to issue a fine. Rarely to executives at big firms go to jail unless there was something Enron sized egregious happening
