Precedents for the "corporate death penalty" exist not only in the dissolution of IG Farben, but also in the 1998 actions of New York's then-attorney general, Dennis Vacco, who announced that he intended to revoke the charters of two tobacco industry front groups, the Council for Tobacco Research and the Tobacco Institute, Inc. Subsequent to the threat they voluntarily ceased operations.
