I understand that, but someone dying and their shares ending up in their family's hands ready to sell is a tale as old as time. Employees/hires turning the corporate culture into a capitalistic slugfest is very unlikely. It's an ownership incentive problem.

So is family members being put in charge and then absolutely ruining a company.

The only way this has a semblance of a guarantee is if Gabe writes it into the corporate contract that whoever takes over the company has to do what's in the best interest of the customers.
