It's also a very old story.

So what was the point in bringing it up now?

Why not find a follow up on this court case before accusing people of lies......

The article you posted says nothing about WalMart secretly taking out the life insurance policies on the workers lives. That's because it didn't happen. Insurance law prevents it from happening. Law is for the law abiding of course and WalMart obeyed the law. WalMart paid the premiums, and whether the premiums were taken as a tax deduction or not, morally, the proceeds belonged to WalMart.

The jist of the article you posted is this: Relatives of the dead employees were angry that they didn't recieve the death benefit (even though they weren't entitled to it) and managed to raise a stink in the press to the level that the company saw a PR disaster. What the EE's families did was immoral and unethical, but they prevailed. They managed to steal from WalMart and not get punished. Laws are for the law abiding, of course, and these families wanted to be lawbreakers. The death benfit they recieved was a gift from WalMart, not something they earned or even deserved.

I suspect the reason you made up all the stuff you did in your posts was because you don;t have any good, logical, arguments why WalMart should be taken down. You are then forced to make up stuff, misrepresent the truth into lies (as you did) and generally paint WalMart as evil.

As a Freeper, you should feel shame for what you've done. Obviously, I won't hold my breath. Your posts revel to what level you will desend to harm WalMart. I see a lot of that kind of stuff posted over at the DUmmie site too. It's hard to tell your posts apart from theirs.

I didn't bring it up now .. someone else pinged me to it.

I was curious how the case turned out, and looked it up for a follow-up.

Wal-Mart did violate Texas law by taking out life insurance policies on non-key employees.
