Sure, if it's shadowrunners who spend the money that will be the least
thing they get charged with if the corp ever catches them. They'll go
"Let's see, what did you do again? Kill fourteen of our guards, including
two expensive combat mages, blow up the plastics lab, steal the details of
the production process for the new material they were working on -- so our
competitors can now make it as well... You also kidnapped a VP so you
could get out of the place untouched by our security, later you killed him
as well because you 'didn't need the bastard any longer' and dumped his
body in Puget Sound. Oh yeah, and you took about 200 bucks of our
corporate money with you."

OTOH if Wageslave Smith trades Fuchi-money for UCAS dollars somewhere,
he'll be in a lot of trouble with Fuchi, if/when they find out.
