Except the capital is far to be only the money of the "one who takes the risk" as you say. To take your example of Jeff Bezos, he "only" holds 11.2% of Amazon and as his reported wealth is much higher than that, even if Amazon went tits up, he would still have a lot remaining.
On the contrary, the workers are not just losing their job but also their pension funds.....
