This is basically whataboutism. If you agree with the principle you should be calling for the people in CA to be personally culpable (and their investors and customers, who knew full well what they were doing). If you disagree, make an argument as to why the principle is wrong.
"you should be calling for the people in CA to be personally culpable"
I am all for it. But let's follow first come first served and start punishing the earlier perpetrators first.
What you call "whataboutism" is simply people's natural feel for justice. When you advocate punishment make sure it applies EQUALLY TO EVERY ENTITY GUILTY. If not then people will start pointing fingers and quite rightfully. It is not them being "whataboutists". It is you behaving like/protecting a hypocrite.
