That link claims that (1) he is incompetent and (2) he is liquidating the company. The two claims are not compatible. Nor does either constitute “looting.” Looting is intentional behavior, not incompetence. If you do think liquidating a company is “looting,” you could have just said so, rather than linking to an article and letting me figure out the behavior you meant. And there are a lot more examples of liquidation.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect someone who you disagree with about the meaning of a word used in an unusual context to know you disagree with them and mention it in advance.
One could call any CEO salary greater 100 times worker salary looting. Note that CEOs salary is not just market demand and supply but to a large part power gaming.
ADDED: I note that this is down-voted, but don’t understand why. It was solely intended as one example as requested. I understand that very high CEO salalary is neither unusual nor (mostly) condered unethical. But one could see it as such. Where went my reasoning wrong?
Could you give an example of someone looting a large organization in the first world?

It’s not an unusual context, but that doesn’t meant that it means anything beyond negative affect.
The recent history of the state of Illinois.
