> Men likely just commit more crimes.

I think the thing that makes men commit more crimes is the same that makes them be at the "top". Thank you for that link about the variability hypothesis, that seem to be what I'm thinking about.



Committing crimes without getting caught is also how you can become a board director. There are other ways too obviously. Mostly wage theft, anti competitive crimes or some embezzlement. The kind of crimes privileged people would commit.


Fair point, though I have honestly no idea of the percentage of board directors that have committed white collar crime.


It's zero or near zero. Committing crimes generally bars one from being a director, especially public companies. White collar crime sentences generally preclude serving on any board until their dues are paid to society. Even personal bankruptcy can preclude being a director.
