> You can prosecute and imprison officers and/or the board.

Right, that's just normal individual criminal prosecution; it doesn't require prosecuting the corporation.

Of course, it's possible for the corporation to be guilty of a crime without any individual officer or board member being guilty.

> A corporation isn’t a magical immunity shield for them - for some reason prosecutors have shied away from piercing the corporate veil.

Piercing the corporate veil is holding shareholders liable for certain debts (including criminal or civil judgements) of the corporation. It has nothing directly to do with criminal prosecution of corporate officers or board members for crimes committed in the context of the corporation (though there are certainly cases where both things are relevant to the same circumstances.)
