Not if the manager goes to the feds himself.

Well imagine you're a CEO and you not only didn't setup protections against wrongdoing but rather created a system of incentives that makes it beneficial to close your eyes to things.

In the Dieselgate the engineer went to jail, in Skyguide the air traffic controller got stabbed, the executives walk free.
