We do distinguish manslaughter and murder however. Someone dies either way, but in that case intent matters.

I think in most of these cases the intent should simply unleash an additional charge or penalty - leading to the imprisonment of executives.

If my company accidentally does something extremely stupid or negligent, or against the interests of my customers, fine me enough to ensure I create systems and oversight to attempt very hard not to.

If it turns out I was doing so intentionally, lock me up and throw away the key.
