It's a business case in how a CEO murders their own company.
The strangest part? Against the constant demand that corporations take full responsibility, when one does, the public tears them apart like a pack of wolves going after a wounded buffalo.
Full responsibility is when you testify truthfully and voluntarily as to what you have done, what your company has done, the ways in which your company has violated laws or ethical principles, offer up any documentation that wronged parties request, and use your personal resources to repay wronged parties to the best of your ability.
Full responsibility is not when you stand at a podium and say "I accept full responsibility," then go back to your desk and resume business as usual.
