The whole point of a CDP is to push some liability onto the limited liability shareholders.

Basically, make it so there are crimes that the shareholders will themselves police the company, because they don’t want to risk losing it all.

Part of a CDP would be NOT paying back bondholders, etc. it’s spreading the pain around so nobody will lend or support a company doing activities that open the door to CDP.
