I'll tell you what I would do if I was a government official. I'd smile and ask you kindly if you are sure you don't want to cooperate. If you say you are, I'd leave. Then I'd find every piece of evidence I have against you and your company, get public opinion on my side, sue you, destroy your reputation, give hidden subsidies to your competitors, accuse you personally of tax evasion and your company of not acting in the interests of public. It wouldn't destroy your company, but you'll lose plenty of money, the public wouldn't listen to you because you'd have no evidence and because the public opinion is on my side already. No one will ever know of your courageous act. More importantly, by punishing you I'd show other companies what happens to those who misbehave. And don't be naive. The judges are in my pocket, public opinion is in my pocket, I have power which your money can never buy and you are on your own, as all of your competitors are just waiting for the chance to jump in and destroy you.
