It's tempting to call the closing of the Trump Foundation a "Corporate Death Penalty" because we really want that to exist, but that's wishful thinking.

The Trump Foundation's closure serves the exact purpose it was created for - insulating Trump and his cronies from the legal consequences of actions they took, by pretending a separate corporate entity took them. It's ablative legal protection, and they'll just make more when they need it. They probably already have.
