Good riddance!

I.G. Farben was intertwined with [censored]'s regime.

"The company was founded in 1925. Even before the rise of the Nazis in
1933, the firm, then the world's largest chemical manufacturer, was
closely-affiliated with the National Socialists. It produced Zyklon B,
the gas that was used to kill prisoners in concentration camps, and
exploited more than 80,000 forced laborers in labor and concentration
camps.

"After World War II, the Allies stripped the firm of most of its
assets, which were transferred to the three chemical firms Bayer,
Hoechst (now Aventis) and BASF. Since then IG Farben's legal successor
has been in the process of being liquidated, while its stocks continue
to be traded.

I.G. Farben might be declared bankrupt, but the corrupt pharmaceutical
industry is still going strong. Its easy for companies to change their
names, invent new identities and carry on business as usual.

When all the corrupt pharmaceutical companies are dead and buried, and
all the nazis who were transported to the US after WWII are rounded
up, I will feel as though something has been accomplished.
