That doesn't sound like looting, though, unless the new shareholders were all US citizens? And was it their plan all along to make the factory workers sell their shares to oligarchs? It is still a very popular theory here in Germany that factory workers should be given shares in the companies they work for. Personally I think it is misguided and anti-freedom: obviously it would be better to just give them more money, with which they could opt to buy shares or other things. But seeing the popularity of the idea, I think people could be forgiven for actually implementing it?
