>>> should-be-illegal process of putting debt on the acquired company's balance sheet

This is a basically a leveraged buyout (LBO). All private equity works this way. Yes, it should be illegal, or at least heavily limited.

I highly recommend this book: "Plunder: Private Equity’s Plan to Pillage America"
