Which is exactly how it should be handled, IMO: Deal with the abuse situations directly.

Forcing new companies to capitalize with an arbitrary amount of money at time of founding penalizes small players who want to start a company. It's also not a hurdle at all for large players who want to commit large frauds.

That's a barrier to entry; and who likes to perpetrate those? Why big, established companies who lobby the government.

Is the gmbh pierce proof? Because then I like the situation where if you start with $25,000 under no circumstance can they get past the liability shield.
