Of course they are responsible to themselves and their shareholders. Especially if they did something illegal. I doubt anyone will be pounding down his door to hire him any time soon.

But what I see underlying your thinking here is the CEO acted solely as a "big brain", made every decision, and created everything that happened negative to the company. Thousand person organizations don't typically work like that.

The organization known as Enron was made up of thousands of people, each making decisions which ultimately negatively impacted the company. Each person inside Enron must live with that knowledge, and accept responsibility for those decisions. The CEO is one player among many.

From what Tom posted a few days ago, he paid a high financial price for his poor decisions as well.
