"Terrible ethics aside"
Did the CEO do anything unlawful? If so, let's talk about it. Otherwise, how can you blame him? He's performing in a way that is sanctioned by US law. Think it's horrible? So do I! Until the laws change, you're going to see more of the same.

Everything they did was legal and yet the US decded that legal was a bullshit excuse in the face of mass murder...here we are, history rhyming.
If you are loosing an argument just mention the Nazis.
Don't let your arguments loose. An argument needs to be tightly held, corralled, and directed narrowly, right at the crack in the opponent.
If the Nazis are relevant in the discussion because they acted the same, sure.
Calling someone Nazi just because it's not, but this isn't the case
