You Sorry Bastards

So what happens if Fedex finally settles? Will we be expected to check prescriptions? UPS settled. Did your procedures change or is this the government shaking down a couple companies because they can?

I think the governments case is a bit problematic if they wouldn't give the company their list of suspect pharmacies.

I wonder if you would feel the same if this case involved hard drugs, such as cocaine, meth, and the drug cartels?

It's still a "stretch", quoting ex-DEA prosecutor Cote.

Exactly the same. I have no idea why the government didn't shut down the illicit pharmacies and I wouldn't understand why they would knowingly allow a drug cartel to keep operating.

And just to let you know, the "hard" drugs have absolutely nothing on pharmaceuticals when it comes to purity, addictive nature, or street value. Just because the dealer is backed by household names doesn't make them any less criminal.

And the case is FedEx knowingly aided these fly by night companies who operated illegally and profited heavily for years from that relationship. Seems to me you are trying to justify FedEx facilitating illegal drug purchases. That's like telling your kids, it's ok if you help your friends steal as long as you aren't the one in the store. It's called aiding and abetting for a reason.

Why do you think FedEx is so adamant about how they are not responsible for what goes through their system? It's because they KNOW illegal shipments are a HUGE part of their volume and don't want to lose that volume.

MONEY

UPS, CVS, and Walgreens didn't think so.

UPS also thought they could buy TNT. FedEx didn't.

What does that have to do with the tea in China? Here is a link to the dea charges. Read it then try to justify FedEx actions.

The rabbit hole goes very deep on this one.

No, independent contractors/independent service providers are a stretch.

There's some hefty accusations in that indictment, but I'd like to see the evidence.

Just look beyond the smoke and mirrors.

I think bb is worried about his investment in the ground scam.

Yep, I agree. It shows.

FedEx knew what kind of companies it was dealing with and what they were shipping. .

And the USPS is doing it today to, I'd guess more illegal prescription drugs are going through the USPS than anyone. If you know Fedex is shipping illegal drugs, then you also know who is shipping it. You would think you would go to the source and shut them down. If they can prove Fedex really knew it was moving illegals that is one thing, however just moving drugs that if opened up are illegal, to me that is quite another. You can basically shutdown shipping as we know it otherwise.

If you read the indictment, you would know the DEA went after 2 specific companies that FedEx was in collusion with. Read the indictment, it's a real eye opener as to how this company operates.

$820 million qualifies them as a big fish.

That's one big fish that won't fit on the wall

 

[Pimpedoutatjgx]

Maybe so , but FedEx friend..ed up big time by completely denying the charges and not paying the fine like UPS. They have now opened a serious can of worms.

Maybe Fred S can GFT it

That's the indictment. A document of accusations of criminal activity is not proof. They could draft up an indictment tomorrow entitled, "United States of America v. stopsperhour", accusing you of being a bank robber; doesn't make it true until they produce evidence.
