Pontius

Pontius Pilate... Somebody who allows something to happen that they could have prevented. Then they reap the benefits.

Somebody who defers responsibility for actions to somebody else and then reaps the benefits. Read the example, it makes more sense.
A: "So-and-so is going to get fired unless you say something!"
B: "That's not my responsibility"
A: "Good attitude, Pontius."
