To schettino (from Italian; vb): to escape from a shocking situation which you are personally responsible for while leaving others to pick up the pieces.

Example: ''Bankers in the City schettinoed their way out of the financial meltdown with ever larger bonuses.'
 
Nah, not quite. Schettino has been arrested, faces charges, and there is a chance that he may actually be brought to account for his actions.
