Like one guy did, but your point is still pretty spot on. Basically a patsy for a bunch of other shady shit that a bunch of other executives were involved in.
I don't think they will this time either, but I also expect this to be a worse crash by a LOT.
Half the tech industry has basically turned into an Enron here (circular investments with each other to create the illusion of income), while the component crunch it's caused is hurting everyone else.
