• Neo-liberalists promise a just and measured response from the state to corporate crime without resort to the force of a “criminal” justice. The argument is that there is more than enough justice done in administrative and civil regulatory regimes. In this contribution, I argue that this promise of justice done is betrayed. Evidence of this betrayal is found in the absence of any genuine moral indignation over corporate wrongdoing. Asking questions such as why there is so little moral disapprobation over corporate crime, and how is corporate moral integrity laundered, lead to a simple but important conclusion. These multi-stakeholder games serve and support a regulatory equilibration. This equilibration maintains the status quo of a system tilted in favor of corporations of scale and power, and fails to prompt the emotions necessary to support a strong sense of the wrong in corporate criminal wrongdoing.
