It is really, um, interesting, to see how corporate malfeasance goes all but unpunished in the capitalist world. Not that elected or career government officials are held to much of a standard either, but employees and especially owners of companies can do pretty much whatever they want.

In fact there used to be a corporate death penalty in the US until the 1920s. IIRC it was a certain Rockefeller and Standard Oil / Chase Bank which pushed to make it go away. Before then, companies found guilty of severe crimes could be forcibly dissolved and their assets distributed to victims and/or state assets.

One example that comes to mind immediately is Securitas, because they're present in some way in a lot of people's lives as a private security contractor you see in public places. Securitas can be traced back to the Pinkterton company of the 1800s. These people, contracted by the robber baron type capitalists of the time, started what were essentially wars to get striking workers back in the mines to make profit for their masters. They were probably heavily involved in turning the Haymarket strike into the Haymarket massacre, among other deadly events.

Even today Pinkterton is involved in breaking the back of organized labour, infiltrating for example Amazon at the request of Bezos to keep an eye on fledgling unions.
