>> No legitimate business person I have ever met holds this position > Well, sure, that's true. But only because that's a no-true-scotsman fallacy in incubation. Which, by your own admission, makes it not a no-true-scotsman fallacy since it does not exist. > All these perps are "legitimate business people" until they aren't. This is a strawman fallacy[0] when considering the assertion to which I replied, which reads thusly: They've checked with their peers and lawyers, and decided it's a perfectly acceptable risk to have the founders and staff of a company they're already invested in do illegal things and potentially end up in jail ... Note the explicit knowledge of illegality. This invalidates the premise of participants being "legitimate business people" as, by definition, they are engaging in illegitimate activities. Unfortunately, the rest of your argument is inapplicable due to the aforementioned strawman[0]. 0 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
