This is not true. Officers (eg. vice presidents, president, CEO etc)
are liable and are not protected from the crimes their company may
commit. They are shielded from any personal financial liability. On the
other hand, non-officer employees are somewhat shielded in that they do
not have the authority and officer does. This is exactly why banks have
many VPs. My first job out of graduate school was in a bank. After my
first year I would have almost automatically become an assistant
cashier (lowest officer), and 6 months later an assistant VP. I chose
to go into IT instead.
