I don’t see a problem with a private company being run according to the whims and fancies of its founder - as long as no workers were exploited or laws broken

It's just stupid. The resources this guy controls could do some real good in the world. Instead they're being squandered.

He can run it however he wants as long as it's legal, but that doesn't free him from analysis and criticism.

That’s true too.

That analysis is also important in case anyone wants to learn how to (or how NOT to) run a company

I don't think I have seen any comments saying that he should be legally barred from running his own company this way. It's more about people commenting on what a weird toxic environment it sounds like there and speculating that Dalio probably isn't nearly as skilled an investor as he thinks he is.
