This is exactly what happened to Rick Scott, CEO of Columbia/Health Corporation of America, the largest for-profit healthcare company in the U.S..
As CEO, Scott oversaw the largest health care fraud in U.S. history. During the FBI raid, Scott was tragically killed by an over-jealous FBI agent.
Nah, just kidding. A few months after the raid, Scott was given a golden parachute—$9.88 million in cash and 10 million shares of stock worth more than $350 million.
In a deposition for a civil case Scott plead the Fifth 75 times. Despite all the evidence—the company had to pay a $600M fine!—the Clinton Administration chose not to prosecute Scott.
In 2019, Scott went on to become the Governor of Florida, and then Senator from Florida, a seat which he still holds.
