The CEO just needs to do nothing for this to happen. I have attended many "anti-bulling" trainings. They are mostly there for legal reasons, so the company can say that they "do not encourage or tolerate bullying". But then they promote bullies and punish victims systematically.

CEOs are the most smarter capable people until you look for responsibilities. Then they know nothing and have no impact on anything.

I obviously have no insight into whether or not the company engaged in whistleblower retaliation or intimidation practices. But that is a different argument from whether or not the headline accurately interpreted the statement.
