You Sorry Bastards

Still want to know what the gov't does with it's own as I'm certain USPS delivers more illegal drugs than UPS and Fedex combined, because it's cheaper and a ton cheaper internationally.

Good point. Eliminate the competition. And a lot of the stuff was fake. We should fight it.

What stuff was fake?

 

[newgirl]

What stuff was fake?

Not necessarily from the 2 online pharmacies Fedex is accused of conspiring with, but online pharmacies were notorious for shipping fake drugs knowing you couldn't do anything about it.

I have searched for the pharmacy names and locations but I can't find them

You can't find them because they were shut down. And if you read the indictment you will see the dea had agents actually order drugs from these companies and received them. One of the top executives of these pharmacies was also arrested.

Well Fred, the water is getting hotter. Enjoy.

The shipping company denies any wrongdoing

This is no doubt going to be the epitaph on Freddie's tombstone.

I wonder how much Fedex forked over for that privilege.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I wonder how much Fedex forked over for that privilege.

I believe we settled for $40M so probably pretty close to that.

Except y'all settled long ago. I'm sure they made FedEx pay dearly.

I knew it would come to bite you guys for not settling early.

I wonder if UPS could ask for their 40 million dollar fine back !!!!

I would say 0. This wasn't a plea bargain. If it were, Fedex would have a statement about not admitting wrong doing. The government simply dropped it.

What makes you think X paid anything?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

What makes you think X paid anything?

It would surprise me if they didn't pay at least what we paid to make it go away.

It surprised me that nobody on either side is explaining anything.
