It is a bedrock principle of law that a corporation and the person who owns/operates it are not one and the same. This is true even for people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, who are forever and inexorably tied to the companies they co-founded. This legal concept that protects the owner of a corporation for the (alleged) wrongs done by and in the name of his business was on full display in Amador v. 854 Hermiker Street Corp. et al, Sup.Ct., Kings Co., 509663/2019.
