It makes sense to me that businesses should be regulated and should not have the same rights as a citizen (Citizens United?)

One thing I wonder, though, is: what if the owner or sole proprietor "quits" their business? Are they still criminally/civilly liable after they've "given up" their additional role? And, if something like that'd actually fly, would they ever be able to return to their [line of] business, or would they have to quit forever?

Reminds me of Lavabit, that secure email service whose owner shut down rather than complying with an order to give the government information on a client.
