A leftist defines "greed" as when someone wants more than the leftist has decided he should be allowed to have. The limits vary, depending on where you are and who you're talking to. Someone from the Third World might find you greedy if you have more than one bathroom in your house. Ted Turner probably has a whole different threshold than you do. One must be careful when one sets upper limits on wealth--there's always someone on the step below you waiting to knock you off.

I have not studied all the recent corporate cases, so I am not informed enough to make a judgment on a case-by-case basis.

If any of these people committed actual fraud or other real crimes, they should be legally punished.

However, simply making lousy corporate decisions and running a business into the ground is not a crime--yet--despite the losses involved. Hauling the government in to add yet another stifling layer of regulations on our businesses (written by legislators who wouldn't know how to run a business to save their souls), which is really where all this talk of "protection" we hear from everybody is leading, is not going to help.

The government should not try to "fix" anything. If noncriminal actions result in major losses for employees or stockholders, there may be a solution in civil actions. I'm no lawyer.
