> always settle corporate cases without convictions

I'm not sure that's a bad idea. You can't put a corporation in jail, but you can get their money and that also requires a lower standard of proof than a criminal conviction. In theory I could see it as a better way to recover restitution for those who suffered losses.

I don't see why we can't just put an entire board of a company in jail. Might inspire them to do better.
