I’m pretty sure a foreign shareholder can sue in a US court of law. While I agree that “shareholder” in this case means extra-massive moneyed entity, I firmly believe that even this provides a deterrence effect.

That level of trust doesn’t exist even for orders of magnitude smaller issues in most other countries
