> maybe an option would be fines in percentage of the incoming of the company

You are overengineering it. Just throw the CEOs in jail for a few months and observe how these practices disappear overnight.



> Just throw the CEOs in jail for a few months

It's not that easy: with bail and well payed lawyers they spend quite no day in jail and it is no more than a fine


Bail only works while waiting for the court date. I was talking about the actual sentence if found guilty.

Going after individuals instead of fining the company is still a better deterrent. Corporate fines are paid by shareholders and customers, not by the people who made the decision.

As a side note: If we believe that well paid lawyers can win all cases, there is nothing to discuss under this thread anyway. No fine or sentence can save us.
