I don't get it.. I mean they pushed hard to get this unregulated market in the US in the first place, if they could just move their money to another country back then, why wouldn't they?

Anyone have a clue about this? I think with all the money movement laws, taxes, this and that, companies would have a hard time taking their billions elsewhere, unless they moved their whole company.
