Most crimes require mens rea for conviction. That is, the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you intended to do it. If it's really the case that he accidentally ran terraform with the wrong project/credentials, I doubt he'd accept the plea agreement.

HN has previously discussed the egregious power imbalance at play in plea agreements.
