Getting Prepared For The Philippines > Laws, Regulations, Taxes as Applied to Foreigners

Companies outside the Philippines helping Philippine citizens break the law

(1/6) > >>

Justica:
If your government have laws that prohibit you from partaking in certain activities, they obviously have these laws for good reasons.

If a person or persons, hiding behind a company name, from another country, offer a service that allows citizens in your country to
participate in activities where they are committing criminal offences, doesn't that make the persons offering the service guilty of
aiding and abetting in crimes were other people will break the law and commit crimes that can carry a heavy jail sentence?

Shouldn't law enforcement be targeting these people / companies and putting them out of business and make sure they are prosecuted?
The company involved should be held responsible for their part in aiding and abetting these crimes, even if they are not the principal offender.

I'd like to hear your views on this.

IMHO anyone and everyone who breaks the laws of any country deserves to be punished, I suspect there is a point you are trying to get at, lets hear it but be sure to be generic.

I suggest to Justica that he may wish to read “A Dirty Business” by George Packer in the June 27th 2011 New Yorker. Although it doesn’t deal with Filipinos, it does deal with East Indians on Main Street. It explains how the FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission went after the thieves on Wall Street, U.S. who bought and sold information illegally that ultimately led to the downfall of  major investment house elites in 2008. Of particular interest is the shady line between what is legal and what is illegal and also how companies were set up outside the U.S. to hide what was taking place. There is what almost seems to be a follow-up article entitled “The Showman” by  Jeffery Tobin in the May 9th , 2016 New Yorker . There is an explanation how the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara, throws fear into the financially corrupt on Wall Street. Once again, Filipinos are not involved, but East Indians are much involved.  What is nicely pointed out is that whether Republicans are in power or Democrats are in power the corruption has flourished. That is, what might seem to be corrupt is found not to be a corrupt practice, and even visa versa.

They may be a he but an "A" on the end indicates to me that the person is a female.


And for Justica, I agree that if there is law that is broken, anyone assisting should be held liable too.
