Depends on the by-laws & who is in power to fight the greed based corruption once it is realized.
Recovery can be no different in its struggle to survive as any corrupt capitalistic business run-amoke.
Point being, corruption is always a threat to any form of got or business. Small or large.
Buyer beware
