I'll say this though, when it comes to corpo execs, at least in the USA, if they think they can get away with some illegal and/or unethical activity and they believe that it won't impact any potential profits (either greater than the punishment or benefits to themselves, because we rarely if ever jail executives in this country or hold them accountable without immense public scrutiny), they'll do that thing 9.9 out of 10 times.

The government simply doesn't exist in a capacity to actually prevent these things, and people in general are too apathetic to other peoples well being, let alone engaging in appropriate political discourse, that the needle rarely moves forward for your average citizen.
