I think it's unrealistic to expect the owner of a business the size of Pilot/Flyng J to know everything that's going on in the business. That's what lower level management is for. The total settlement cost alone in this case only comes to less than half of one percent of PFJ's annual sales. Publicity wise, this was a huge negative event for the company, but functionally and financially, it was peanuts.

Interesting. If the owners did not know they should have. Hard to believe

Lawsuits like this mainly bring in money for the lawyers.I would really prefer to see people go to jail.If the owners had no knowledge,then not them,but whoever tried to rip these people off need to do soem time.

Why would anybody continue to do business with a known crook?

The big boys always alledge ignorance and innocence until they are caught. Most are overpaid crooks with a golden parachute. The board of directors also know what is going on. They hired the crook in the first place, to do what they want done.

It does make you wonder why these CEO's make the big bucks. When something like this comes up they never seem to know anything about it. Riiiiight. And he's being a great guy because he is paying the fines...that got levied on his company because of illegal business techniques. But he really didn't know anything about how his company is run...riiiight.

Pay everybody off quickly and maybe they won't dig deep enough to find out who was really behind the whole thing. Lower level employees take the fall and the fat cats walk. Business as usual.

Easy to allege. Hard to prove.
