You miss the point.

What is legal may not be morally correct.

I am drunk. I slip on the ice and break my arm on your front walk.

Legally I can sue you for everything you have because you did not scrape the ice off the walk.

Am I morally clean when I do so?

Is management immoral when they take money beyond basic living expenses when the company, the stock holders, the creditors all are wiped out on their watch?

So we have two questions:

What is legal?

What is moral?

If GOVERNMENT is going to be applying pressure, then I want GOVERNMENT to be LIMITED to pressuring according to the LAW, not MORALS.

Totalitarians trample on the law, and trample on the people, all in the name of “morality.”
