Anyone with a 401k or pension is heavily invested in these businesses, so they are at least victims to these crimes. Having destitute retirees around because the economy didn’t grow enough to support their retirements is a very bad thing.

Anyone who speculates with 401k money on relatively risky tech stocks and startups should either be prevented from gambling with other people's money or should accept the risk to their own money.
Most 401K money is invested in index funds, which include GM, Alphabet, Meta, etc...

These aren't victimless crimes, just that the people suffering from them are indirect (economic crimes always have victims).
