This is exactly why CEOs get big payouts, it's in exchange for the chance they'll be attacked mercilessly after they are out. Meanwhile, the board members who had the responsibility of oversight for what the CEO was doing can claim pure blamelessness to the press while having enriched themselves from the behavior they approved of just months before.
OTOH it's an effective technique to roll blame onto an individual for publicity purposes. Scape goat is the old-fashioned term.
