I don’t really think this is a situation that can be handled by normal laws. We might have to do what was done at Nuremberg when dealing with oil company execs. The crimes of those organizations span at least a hundred years and it’s too important to let them off on a technicality.

I agree. I edited my post (probably after you saw it) to reflect that.
