Why pay taxes on profits if your accountant can easily make it look like you lost revenue?

Two good reasons come to mind:
1) Fines, penalties & seizure of assets for non-payment of taxes as well as possible incarceration if the courts beleive you intentionally defrauded.
2) Let's say reason #1 didn't exist and there was no threat of penalty from the gov't. Showing continual losses would run your stock value to zero on a long enough time line.
