I wish there was a wall of shame blacklist for CEOs who pull unethical shit off. With reviews and ratings from everyone around them. Kind of like yelp, but for CEOs. Then, anyone who wants to start a new venture or giving them any money, can then go look em up there before signing a contract with these trash CEOs. Right now, they only get away with all this because it all happens under the table and not enough people know.

I suppose court records can function as such a list.

If you also want 'alledged assholery' on that list, the list will just turn into a list of CEOs, due to false reports.

Not just CEOs, but we also need it for investors. For example when startups screw over employees on equity, the founders, board members, and their firms, should all be on a public blacklist.

That only works for poor people because CEOs will sue immediately. Someone with a lot of money for legal insurance would have to run it.

There is such wall. Usually published by Fortune.
