Most other illegal logging is not happening by trillion dollar companies. When a company with all the resources cheats, people get extra mad.

  Reuters  reported first in September that Anthropic posted a net loss of $42 billion in 2025  and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing  and  infrastructure obligations in coming years.
