Yes, and it taught our son a valuable lesson. It was another version of not judging a book by its cover.

I live on the fringes of the Walmart universe in Northwest Arkansas. When Sam died the gloves came off of discouragement to flaunt and the amount of money sloshing around up there is phenomenal. The gap between have and have not is equally huge and the temptation for theft and fraud is overwhelming.

NWA is like a cancer and it just keeps metastasizing.

“The regulatory landscape has simultaneously tightened around H-1B visa programs, which form the backbone of technology staffing operations.” I wonder the same thing. I think it goes on in hospitals with interlocking consultations. I don’t know whether the rise of hospitalists promotes or discourages it.

Since they mention H1b, you can bet it was Indians.

From the article: Technology executives with authority over contractor requisitions and interview processes can direct substantial volume toward "preferred" staffing shops.

Translation: Walmart directed firms to contract work with a preferred list of "minority" and "women-owned" firms.

The VP's crime wasn't that there were kickbacks - the VP's crime was that the kickbacks were to go to others, not him. The firms kick back a piece of the action to the government hands that put the "disadvantaged" business laws in place, not to executives at the extorted firm that were forced to contract with them.

This is legalized extortion and kickbacks like at government agencies from the municipal level all the way up to the Federal level. It's nothing but a racket and always has been.

“They are not naming names, are they?”

No they’re not.

Where is his indictment and that of the firms who bribed him? Visa fraud, wire fraud, racketeering, etc., etc.

Plus the civil suits against Walmart by those denied jobs and stockholders against the board & executives.

Indians run IT at Walmart now. They could take it down.

Looks like Walmart is trying to take it back.

I read several different articles and saw no mention of his name so I looked on their website. ‘Suresh Kumar’.
