What exactly is the usefulness of a felony as applied to a corporation?

As applied to an individual, it is capable of ruining your life through privation of constitutional rights (firearm ownership, right to vote, permanent mark on background checks make it increasingly unlikely you'll ever hold any sensitive position, etc...)

What does it mean for a corporation to be a felon? It sure seems like the concept is discontinuous in terms of scale. Obviously, there's an extra layer of court oversight that's been mandated, so some autonomy is lost. Still doesn't seem though like the the punishment for a corporation is concommittant with the general treatment of an individual having committed the same relative severity of infraction.

In fact, I'm surprised that anyone even wants to do business with anyone involved with the company during the period the felony was handed dowm.

The more I think about it, it seems like all the "felon" label does is act as a signpost for discrimination being okay.

Anyway. Brain dropping. My apologies for the tangent.
