       @bananarama True, but a corporation doesn't become homeless after declaring bankruptcy.  They don't lose their retirement savings.  They don't have a destroyed credit score that handicaps their ability to buy a car or home.  A corporation just ceases to exist...and who is held accountable?

       @bananarama Are the stock owners, CEOs, board members held personally responsible?  I think 2009 told us a resounding no.

       @Aporkalypse666 Most of the time they absolutely are. 2009 was a special example, Bernanke has gone into a lot of detail of why he was not willing to run such an experiment with the US economy. If there is actual fraud involved, there are frequently other repercussions. See the lawsuits against Infowars and Alex Jones for more details.

       @Aporkalypse666@bananarama Stocks become worthless after a bankruptcy, dividends are no longer paid out. All the capital the stock owners invested is lost. For many, especially in the US, these are their savings.

       @najanaja @bananarama But the liability is limited.  Hence the term.If you can tell me the corporate owners and managers of an LLC would suffer the same criminal consequences as a private individual who did the same thing as the LLC, then we can have a conversation.There's no limited liability for individual persons.

       @Aporkalypse666 @najanaja Dude, they do suffer criminal consequences if they do something illegal. I don't know what else to tell you. Operating behind a shell corporation does not save you from criminal liability.
