- ROTMetro 4y agoNo, the concept of having corporations is 100% about this since their creation. If you look into the history of corporations it's kind of the point. Not more 'you and your family will be completely ruined and destroyed' but instead 'you can lose your business' sparked a revolutionary change in business the enabled the modern world and allowed people to undertake huge products that no sane person would take a risk on if they assumed responsibility for.

- filoleg 4y ago> Criminal violations are not supposed to be protected by the corporate veil. And they aren't, at least in the US. Just look at Martin Shkreli actually serving 5 years in prison for securities fraud and personally repaying ~$70mil. P.S. none of this is related to the Daraprim controversy btw. Thought to mention because I have been seeing that misconception quite a bit online.
