I'm not ignoring it, it's just irrelevant.

Anything you do —atomically legal or not— becomes illegal if it smothers the chance of competition by using you market dominance.

The thing I'm arguing here is that the person taking those decisions faces consequences.

> twisted by a political insider into jail time

No - you seem to be assuming such a law would only be invoked in cases where the company legitimately did something wrong. But that's not what's at stake here. We're talking about what happens when someone with political clout and a vendetta is able to use that law to wrongfully get a a CEO tossed in prison. Because sometimes laws get twisted for personal gain, and you're raising the stakes pretty high.

I wouldn't want to do business under those conditions, not because I might violate the law, but because it could be used wrongfully against me.
