lmao 10M is “nothing”. I hope one day you realize that you can do better things than lick boots. If you’ve got a problem with immorality and robbery, take it up with the billionaires who are actually doing just that and not leaving people with piss, let alone 10M for picking the forewarned bad option. Where I’m from, trying to move something across borders when it is against the law is called “smuggling” and it’s normal to seize all of what is smuggled rather than 99% (unless it’s, like, people or something).
10M is nothing to someone who owns billions, it’s all a matter of perspective. I have a problem with people who use or suggest immoral actions, and that includes you. Stealing from anyone is immoral, I don’t care how much they have or how big of a company it is.
What is against the law here? It’s not illegal to move your business outside the country, it’s not illegal to leave the country, what you are assuming is illegal is actually perfectly legal. It’s not smuggling if you are just moving legal goods. Even you can leave a country like the US and transfer your money to wherever you go, it’s not illegal at all.

I never said it wouldn’t feel bad, but it objectively is a large amount of wealth for one person to have, enough to never work again. To view it as nothing indicates a disorder, so maybe .1% can go to rehabilitating them so they can understand their position, should they accept receiving such counseling.
Of course, your deontological view of a deeply exploitative class of people is untenable to do anything but limply defend the status quo, but I don’t think I can teach you how to do philosophy coherently.

Remember that this hypothetical situation we are discussing is of a policy being implemented. That is to say, in this hypothetical, large-scale capital flight is illegal, and therefore to attempt it anyway is smuggling. The 1% left to them to do what they like with (even in whatever poor country they were leaving to exploit) is quite literally a significant mercy to them.

If they drastically reduced their lifestyle, don’t get taxed heavily, and are able to invest it, then sure. However if you don’t allow them to invest and they don’t drastically reduce their standard of living, that’s not nearly enough to retire on.
Even a fairly modest personal plane or small yacht will cost a million or more over years of use.

If your idea of philosophy involves theft, I don’t think I want to learn it from you.

Ah, this concept is so insane that I just can’t imagine it ever happening. In reality the companies and rich would leave and there would be nothing you could do to stop it.
