5. i'm not sure what you're getting at
The report does not argue that individuals who are responsible for the criminal acts should not be targeted. It argues that corporations that performed a criminal act should be prosecuted - as opposed to getting deferred prosecution. When a corporations is found "not guilty" of a crime then there's no ground to prosecute the individuals who were involved in the crime.

Also i am curious which nuances regarding the newer prosecutorial strategies you find interesting. I'd say the interesting bit is the fact that the newer prosecutorial strategies amount to non-prosecution in case of criminal wrongdoing by a corporation. Also i'd think there's plenty reason to point out the immorality of it. I mean - stealing 2.5 billion from the government, and get not even a slap on the wrist.
