They will not kill you off on purpose, but they will not do you much good either.
Back in the 70's or early 80's the IRS seized the Mustang Ranch for back taxes (a well known whorehouse in Nevada )
Under the law they were supposed to operate the business until they had their money, then auction it off.
After several years of running at a loss they gave up and sold it.
Do you understand the implications of business managers who lose money on booze and hookers ?
