The very foundation of the company that we are discussing is something that was illegal in virtually every jurisdiction that they entered. There is a very legitimate argument to be made that it was a very large scale criminal enterprise. We know that this reality impacted much of their operations, including high level active evasion of authorities.

It isn't terribly surprising that traditional corporate norms weren't strictly followed in their operations or behaviors. This is true whether we believe their actions were ultimately for the public good or to bring regulations forward.
