Imagine a rogue AI agent liquidating your bank account and investment portfolio.

If you are the only victim, I suppose you could get made whole by the AI company responsible.

If rogue agents liquidate hundreds of billions across millions of accounts, the AI company would go bankrupt and you wouldn’t get made whole.

Imposing criminal liability on AI executives might help mitigate it at the front end, but once the crime is complete and you lose everything criminal responsibility will be necessary but completely insufficient.
