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.

Pontius Pilate 

Roman Judge at the Trial of Jesus Christ. Ordered the execution of Jesus but did so very reluctantly. Didn't believe Jesus conspired against Rome or committed treasonous actions.
