In the UK remember Robert Maxwell, who was not only a Newspaper Owner but a very respected television personality, presenter and current affairs commentator. When his newspaper empire began to falter he secretly scavenged the funds in the Newspaper's pension fund which provided for thousands of pensioners and future pensioners....... they all lost their private pension plans completely.
You mention that most serious cases should carry 'capital sentences' which does seem tough, but in Maxwell's situation he clearly would have agreed with you. He ordered the crew of his private yacht to take him far out to sea and after a fine dinner and cigar he ejected himself over the vessel's stern, never to be seen or found again.
