A CEO was a bad guy? A CEO is the hero of the people. They would never be evil!

DeGiorgio is charged with assault within maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States. If convicted, he faces up to one year in prison.

If it's on a ship, they'll lock him in the brig.

It's a cruise ship. Put him in the cadaver closet.
