I think you overestimate the damage that your name being called out for grabbing some money out of an industry.
Most people would take the millions in profit even if their name is on some obscure nerd website as being naughty.
While I agree that the damage is minimal to them - the point is that protecting them behind the meaningless label of "private equity" outright shields them.
More importantly, nobody invests with the Piccolo group, they invest with a pension plan that invests with a mutual fund that invests with a hedge fund that has a portion invested with Piccolo.
I worked at a place that ultimately was owned by Apollo and I was there when it came out that the CEO had ties to Jeffery Epstein. It didn't change too many people's opinion of him (it was not very high to begin with).

The parent comment should not be downvoted. It should be upvoted. Its because sociopaths are allowed to get away with doing these things behind 'corporate entities' that this kind of psychopathy can happen. Its because we not only allow such sociopaths to live in our midst, but also we held them in high esteem and allow them to occupy positions of power in our society that these things continue to happen. And until we stop doing those, they will keep doing what they are doing.
Public doesn't care that much.
