Seems like senior managers and directors. I don't think these are fall guys. They seem like they were personally responsible for these things. I know corpo speak invents fancy job titles, but I don't think it's a situation where someone's personal assistant is being used as a scapegoat. These people should have known better and had other options. I did see that one upper exec had to pay but I didn't see any outline for what exactly they were charged with. I wish the articles did a better job of going into the details of punishments vs charges but I was just pointing out that actual time is being done since the title doesn't mention it.
