Engineers are just people paid to code. If you're not a decision-maker, or a dealmaker bringing in business and financing, your compensation will reflect that.

To be fair, a lot of engs made a lot of money writing code for this company. They were a huge ruby employer for many years. Lots of careers built off of working at Outcome Health.

How come none of the Engineers ever get rich in these schemes?

"These schemes" were fraud. It is better, and wiser, to eschew fraudulent riches and stay out of jail.
