Why are you assuming the legal framework for ending corporations couldn’t have mechanisms to prevent that?
For example, offending corporations could be broken up, and have their assets sold to their competitors. The resulting money used as severance for the employees, who didn’t necessarily do anything wrong.
A company can’t just “start back up” if you take all their capital. And no-one would re-invest in people known for taking legal risks that might make that investment go “poof”.
And 99% of corporations wouldn’t be evil if it wasn’t fucking legal, and basically required to compete!
I don’t think it’s even legal to give away a company’s assets without their consent, be they criminal or not.
And anyway, that’s easy to get around that too. Full of companies that already “”“go bankrupt”“” to avoid paying their due and then reopen with money magically appearing from “somewhere”. In the end to me it just seems the more rules/laws you add, the more the average person will suffer because of it while not really causing any for assholes.
“This thing would be illegal” is a pretty shit argument when changing the law is on the table.
And I see you’re a fan “anti-regulation” ideals. Did it occur to you that this system could entirely replace a shitload of micro-managing bs current regulation? And did you miss the part where re-investment in criminals wouldn’t be a thing it was that expensive? The only reason it happens right now is because it technically legal, and cheap.
It’s not just changing the law of a country though, I’m pretty sure some degree of private property is in the Human Rights and would require changing international law. Not to mention it would open a whole another can of worms.
And by the way, I wasn’t talking about re-investment, more like those CEOs funneling all of their money into some backwards fund or hiding it with fake IDs, You can’t accurately seize assets if those “assets” can be hidden or saved somewhere else. They just pass off as bankrupt, lose their debt and get buck in business with the same money they had before.
Are you seriously trying to argue that corporations should be allowed to get away with harming humans, because human rights? We’re not discussing the current system, were discussing what would be the most fair. Is this really the take you want to go with?
Some places execute criminal people, why should criminal organisations be any different? With those, there doesn’t even have to be any actual killing involved. But you think its untenable because it would harm the people who own it, and benefited from the crime?
The only reason hiding personal wealth in that way is possible, is because government lets it happen, mostly because the people making the laws, do it too.

That should obviously stop.
