I think they are often engaged in illegal activities but it is difficult to prove it. A company and its subsidiaries are different entities and when you do an IP transfer between them where a huge set of patent and trademark is exchanged for 1 euros and then used back for millions, one of the company has been wronged. Try to do the same shenanigan with a LTD and yourself and you will very fast see what the IRS (or equivalent) think of it.
A company is just a legal construction but we let people transgress the legal constrains that should rule its behavior.
