You mean like how tobacco company CEO's went to Congress telling them that there is no cancer risk? Oil companies pretending they didn't know about global warming? Shrinkflation? Corporations lie all the time and the people running them are never punished.

Then why is the ex-VW CEO currently in court?

I did not deny that fraud exists in corporation, but it is not committed by the rank and file. Most employees actually perform their duties. Examples of fraud seem rare, the VW scandal maybe.

In science a good part of the rank and file is either incompetent and malicious.
