Technically "Microsoft to pay $20 million in civil penalties" doesn't actually make the CEO a criminal in the legal sense.

Not saying he's a saint who's never done anything wrong but who is?

Wow, everyone breaks the law sometimes....

Gosh. I guess we're all robber barons at heart.

I guess when PG&E legally ignores requirements to trim electrical lines and people die, well the CEO didn't get any criminal charges, so the dead can be comforted that being burned alive wasn't done by a "criminal" quote un quote.

We all cause people to die by our greed... sometimes.
