the VP accepted the risk

Ok, and you fired him, and the replacement… did they accept all the risk too?

If they accepted the job, absolutely yes. ignorantia juris non excusat.

But wow if I was to take over some of the VP roles I’ve seen with the risk they accept, there would be years of work just patching shit.
