This would defeat the entire purpose of incorporation. Not to say you're wrong, but incorporation exists to prevent this.

I see your point, but the whole purpose of an LLC is, yes, to prevent undue liability on those acting on the behalf of corporations, but at the same time, there needs to be a point where as a society we say "well, you can't claim limited liability because you knew directly what you were doing, and the negative effects of your actions, and you admitted as such in writing, so yes, you are liable".

Because otherwise, I could incorporate as XYZ LLC and say that any blatantly illegal act that causes real harm is just a byproduct of me doing business, and that I'm not actually liable for anything that happens to anyone else during me committing said illegal acts.

The slope here is so slippery it's effectively made of banana peels.

It does make one wonder why the people vs hitman LLC isn’t a case before the Supreme Court.
