Stock buybacks should be taxed at 100%.
The only reason to do it is to juice the stock price.
And considering how much executive compensation is based on stock price, it's financial fraud.

Reply to comment by steboy in Pot twist: Cannabis firm refuses federal judge's ruling because its business isn't legal under federal law by Doc_Dante
Take it up in a jurisdiction that actually recognizes the business' right to exist.
In federal court, the owner of the pot shop, by stepping into the court, has admitted to federal drug trafficking.
If the political winds change, the owner has basically set themselves up for a multi-decade stretch in a federal prison.
I wouldn't show up, either.

Under federal law, there is no such thing as a legal pot business. So the pot shop refusing to listen to the federal judgement is equivalent to the mob refusing to pay income tax on the money they illegally extort.
