Just saw this.....Bark River is no more?

Hell hath no fury...

I don't think there are a lot of good guys involved in this situation.

By the middle of the week, we'll see a lot less of the "I feel sorry for the employees" posts. They were earning from the scam.

Here’s the what their social media manager had to say regarding the situation:

Social media manager doesn't use paragraphs. MY EYES!!!!

Here’s the what their social media manager had to say regarding the situation:

She's just as much to blame as Mike. She knew she stayed she helped him screw people over and now wants people to feel sorry for her. Don't feel sorry for her AT ALL. In fact I blame her and anyone else that knew and participated because at the end of the day if ya knew you participated and facilitated.

The fact that she is a blue haired lib with an axe to grind doesn't reflect well on her credibility. Also, if that she knew about this and waited until now to speak up, she is incriminating herself too.

A "blue haired lib" doesn't make her testimony any more or less credible than any other witness on its face.

(You probably have to be a certain age to remember that one.)

There's Lots of Beef, here.....haha no question about that.

They used good steels too.

You don't get to break the law just because your boss says to do it.

Please cite to me the law that was broken by the employees. Thanks.

 

[JasonInVa]

I’m surprised that Blacks Law Dictionary might be cited here.

I would do that but lost mine after law school along with all the other text books.

I know a few and they are generally delusional. They also are generally anti business.

 

[DMG]

Normally I'd agree. But Mike is a turd and it's well documented.

You are correct about that.

 

[Blues]

I know a few and they are generally delusional. They also are generally anti business.

And that's why you wouldn't be picked for a jury to make a decision affecting someone's life if your honest opinion was expressed during voir dire

Knowingly violating federal laws, is a crime. Doesn't matter who told you to do it. Removing made in China labels and selling as usa made is in fact a crime. Look it up on the ftc. Is this an employee at brk?

I am a blue haired liberal and not anti business, nor do I feel particularly delusional.

 

[oldmanwilly]

It is literally the definition of exculpatory.

I’m surprised that Blacks Law Dictionary might be cited here.

Ask and ye shall receive.



I don't think the defendant's own statements on the matter can be deemed exculpatory evidence, but it will depend on the rules of evidence in the given jurisdiction.

Edit: This tricky little detail might also come up, so I thought to add it on:

Again, please cite the law that says the person grinding the made in china label is breaking the law. It may be the person who misrepresented the Chinese made product as made in the usa (whatever those definitions are). But again, that is management not the worker doing the misrepresentation.

FTC Made in USA Labeling — Employer vs. Employee Liability

Under 16 CFR Part 323 (FTC's Made in USA Labeling Rule), the employer/company bears liability for false country-of-origin labels — not the employee who physically made the change.

• If an employee changes a label at the employer's direction, the employer is the responsible party. The employee is acting as an agent executing company policy.
• Individual liability is reserved for executives or owners who had actual knowledge of and directed the deception — not subordinate employees following orders.
• Civil penalties can reach $53,088 per violation, with each mislabeled product potentially counting separately.
• The employee would not face FTC enforcement. An employee ordered to make a false label change may also have whistleblower protections if they refused and faced retaliation.

Even if there's no way to authenticate or corroborate her statements, knowing all what he's done already so far doesn't make it hard to believe

This thread’s going off the rails in a few directions. I’m here for it! Where’s my popcorn?

They make axes too?

We are discussing an alleged social media post. Not a court case. A good defense attorney would ensure his client went to court with a natural hair color.


Omg. I just realized where you got your username.

I mean, I'm past my hair dying days, but same. Funny how no one brought up the political views of the man behind the scam.
