&gt; What&#x27;s wrong with putting companies out of business?<p>Well you have to decide what is or isn&#x27;t worth destroying a business entity. Let&#x27;s say Startup X breaks a law that, while illegal, has little to no impact on the general public. Let&#x27;s say Startup X isn&#x27;t found out until 5 years in and they&#x27;re doing $300 million in revenue but without breaking that law they would be at some unknown number less than $300 million. Is that worth putting them out of business? If so, why? If not then what is the appropriate punishment?<p>Seems like a really hard problem to be fair all the way around.
