This doesn't seem very convincing. Simply paying programmers lots of money would be a simpler and more effective solution. They could certainly afford that, and bookkeeping is too critical to their business to risk. Would you suggest that they kidnap lawyers and doctors as well?

Well, they don't kidnap them... They just hire them, and when they want to quit or resign the job, they just can't.
