gen digital owns avast. and the fraudulent subsidiary was closed before the avast-norton merger,
So? That doesn’t absolve any of the former decision makers of their crimes. This is the kind of mentality that both enables and facilitates corporate criminals and corruption.
If you purchase a stolen car you don’t get to keep it if the crime is uncovered or the real owners are found. When you purchase a company you purchase its liabilities. If those liabilities/crimes were not disclosed, then you have a case for rescinding the purchase and prosecuting the former company/owners/investors for additional damages.
