Pretty trivial to make profits "not exist" though if you planned to engage in fraud and wanted to de-risk it.




They're a publicly traded company. If they drop profits substantially, I imagine shareholders etc would leave.

I'm pretty sure GP was suggesting a general enforcement framework, not talking about any particular company.

Anyway no, shareholders care about much more than simple profits.


Explain, please.

I ask because I've never invested in a company that wasn't very profitable. I'm trying to find out besides intense insider information why someone would. (I'm not VC clearly, just a retail investor.)
