corporate kleptocracy

由於上市公司也是股東等的公器，所以像C. Black等最高管理者假各種企業購買契約中的”非競爭”等條款而貪污等，就被冠上這種罪名（他又企圖毀證物等妨礙司法審判，罪加一等）。

It is striking, then, that Mr. Black’s conviction in a criminal trial in Chicago yesterday came down to a mere $2.9 million he is accused of siphoning from the company he used to run directly — a far cry from the “corporate kleptocracy” that one former Securities and Exchange Commission chairman accused Mr. Black of running.

他才從直接管理的公司吸金（siphoning from the company）2百90萬美元，這樣証交所就稱為「公司竊盜」，似乎過份點（因為他的薪酬遠高於此）。
