That's certainly possible, and I'm not going to take the other side of that wager. That said, consider the counterexample of Wells Fargo. The company acted dishonestly over a period of years, eventually resulting in a scandal and unfavourable regulatory action. Not only was the CEO canned, so was the next one (who had also been in a leadership role at the time). And no one even died.
