I think we're saying the same thing. My point is that such weak leadership should at least be dis-incentivized. There's plenty of ways to do so from fines, to jail time, to making the individuals industry pariahs. We incentivize what we value; it seems like we may be valuing money over character.
These people's success is measured in dollars and little else so of course everything gets thrown under the bus if doing so will make more money.
