Believe it or not, you are legally bound to act in the interests of shareholders.

Though you cannot be pardoned from civil stuff, and the options to actually prosecute are pretty slim, so I doubt it.

Though, even if this is just tongue-in-cheek, you can literally buy a pardon in America right now with just a little bit a money into the pockets of the Trump family, in case you didn't get the joke (that the US government is literally pro-corruption right now).
