They're not. If you hire a hitman through a corporation it doesn't magically become legal.

Yeah, but the trick seems to be to kill thousands rather than one. Then you have the full might of the law out to protect you. Exhibit A is the Sacklers family.

They are protected from individual liability in a limited fashion. Not blanket

The person doing the hiring would be criminally liable and probably go to prison. The corporation itself would at best pay a fine.
It does permit something individuals don’t have: the internal investigation.
The internal investigation has determined that our CEO had no knowledge of this, and that the bloody pig mask was all the idea of the people who make less money, and also we fired the CEO for unrelated reasons.
