A sociopath would not damage their own company to the point of having to declare bankruptcy.
You are making an assumption that a sociopath while willing to steal from clients, would not choose to go so far as to damage the company as a whole. That assumption in turn depends on 2 other assumptions
- He feels that there is future value to the company to be worth preserving
- He has enough knowledge and skill to avoid the accidentally damaging the company
If Assumption 1 wasn't true he might decide to cut his loses, create some story about hackers stealing stuff and close the company while keeping the stuff he already has.
If assumption 2 was't true, he might damage the company past the point where the theft could be hidden. Sociopath only states that an individual feels no social or moral responsibility for his acts, it says nothing about their technical ability in any given field.
