besides people do get away with crime will succeed in a free market, pushing others to the limit or bankruptcy, they are likely to follow suit, especially if the state has no proper social system to protect them from ending up on a street.
The issues I have raised are legitimate and instead of regulating, law has turned into an industry of its own. I am sure American companies will face stiff competition from China in the upcoming decades and these crazy regulations and fines are not helping us compete at all.
Europe is not much different when it comes to regulations, in fact it is even worse but I had a case where I was caught red handed and I just paid my fines and it motivated me to be even better and do things more transparenty. It did not end in a prison sentencing or some crazy stuff like that.
I violated some data handling and protection laws because it was unreasonable for a company of 40 people to do the things they expected me to do.
By the time they got to bust into our offices and check what we do, I already had enough of money to cover the costs that demand us to do what they asked for to begin with.
The problem is, my aim was never doing something illegal or being a bad person but if you don't know business and if you don't know how common this is, it is almost a must. And when a person like you who lives in a fairytale world comes in you assume everything can be 100% legal.
Guess what? It can't.
Especially in this new age where entire information and communication is recorded, you could prison almost anyone these days.
That is not going to help us. It will destroy our ability to compete.
If I don't do it, some companies will. It then turns into a bloody competition and 100 can end up in jail and whoever is the centipede that hides its legs the best, he prevails and stays afloat.
That is not what competition is about and we will not end up with competitive and best companies. In fact we will end up with corrupt companies and I believe that is pretty much the case these days.
A lot of people imprisoned and a lot of corrupt corporations it the result. Oligarchy.
I talked to many of my colleagues in China and I hate to say it, but the atmosphere in their country is providing them with a very nice climate to compete and their system is very reasonable. We already registered our office in HK and we really don't have these fears that we have about America.
We do not have bad intentions but American laws are really scary and yet companies are very corrupt and our competition might evade these laws, while they unfairly apply to us?
It is our distrust in the American law system and it was a perfectly legitimate question I raised but you decided to be so bitter about it and not provide us any useful information or thoughts.
If you have a different opinion, feel free to share it.
Obviously I will plan how to go about this with limiting my responsibilities and liabilities if we do register in America.
I obviously do not want to expose myself to these laws and some nut job district attorney charging me with these crazy counts. Often I am puzzled by the amount of counts they raise over one single incident. I believe it happens to not rare that a defendant doesn't even properly understand what he is being accused of.
But hey, I am not supposed to worry about that? That is all just in my head right? 10% of men end up in prison at some point in their lives, and I am not supposed to prepare myself for that? Really? Wtf...
