Volkswagen was caught cheating on its emission data and the CEO got fired, then prosecuted. Why shouldn't that be the case here?

The really weird thing about the diesel emissions scandal was that someone actually got in trouble for it. It is _rare_ for companies to be punished, particularly criminally, for that sort of thing.
