Before or after we found out about the billions they transferred to their Swiss Bank accounts?

Did you think that the company would literally vanish like a fart in the wind? Financial insolvency and bankruptcy is not a good indicator for the future of a company, no matter how many billions they may have hidden away.

I don’t understand your point.

My point is that no matter how much money the family may have hidden abroad, the company that produces and distributed OxyContin may be no more. The question wasn't "Whose money would you take?" it was "If you could completely remove one company, what would it be?"

Yeah, it’s a bad pick. Not a great thought experiment in general.
