I think it's a precedent, CEOs actually have something to fear aside from their job. Which usually fails upward with a good serverance package. This is also a sign that the Government and the laws of the land no longer works for the people. It's a good and a bad thing either way. Personally I think it's a huge mistake we made companies as a person. I think this is were the root cause is. Since it disconnects the accountability of the people working especially the higher ups.

If they’re a person it should go all the way. They should be able to go on trial for homicide. Some states still have the death penalty for people. Disband the company if it commits serious crimes.

While still jailing those who made the decisions and performed the illegal actions.

I think they'll all get their companies to pay for security details and armored cars. It'll make them feel even more self-important.

Then hopefully someone shows security details and armored cars are easily taken care of with homemade devices.
