I agree with that. In some hypothetical where the board sat on information I'm not saying the executive would get out of being fired. I'd tend to think they still would - I just think the board itself would also be in trouble when their actions came to light.

It's criminal so the analogy isn't perfect but if you know I killed someone and neglected to mention it because you gained from that; I expect I'd still go to jail but it's not like you'd have nothing to worry about. We'd both be hiring lawyers.
