Former Bumble Bee Ceo Sentenced To Prison For Fixing Prices Of Canned Tuna
Christopher Lischewski, former Chief Executive Officer and President of Bumble Bee Foods LLC, was sentenced to serve 40 months in jail and pay a $100,000 criminal fine for his leadership role in a three-year antitrust conspiracy to fix prices of canned tuna, the Department of Justice announced.

Lischewski was charged on May 16, 2018, in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in San Francisco.  After a four-week trial in late 2019, he was convicted on the single count of participating in a conspiracy to fix prices of canned tuna.  In imposing Lischewski's 40-month prison sentence, the Court found that Lischewski was a leader or organizer of the conspiracy and that it affected over $600 million dollars of canned tuna sales.

"The sentence imposed today will serve as a significant deterrent in the C-suite and the boardroom," said Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division.  "Executives who cheat American consumers out of the benefits of competition will be brought to justice, particularly when their antitrust crimes affect the most basic necessity, food.  Today's sentence reflects the serious harm that resulted from the multi-year conspiracy to fix prices of canned tuna."

"This sentence is the result of our commitment to holding corporations and senior leadership accountable for their actions, whether they operate in the food supply industry or elsewhere," said FBI San Francisco Division Special Agent in Charge, John F. Bennett.  "This brings us closer to our goal; allowing our citizens to be able to purchase food in an unbiased market within an efficient and fair economy, free of corporate greed."

Bumble Bee pleaded guilty and was sentenced to pay a $25 million criminal fine.  In September, StarKist Co. was sentenced to pay a statutory maximum $100 million criminal fine.  In addition to Bumble Bee and StarKist, four executives, including Lischewski, were charged in the investigation.  The other three executives pleaded guilty and testified in Lischewski's trial.

The sentence announced today is a result of the Department's ongoing investigation into price fixing in the packaged-seafood industry, which is being conducted by the Antitrust Division's San Francisco Office and the FBI's San Francisco Field Office.  Anyone with information on price fixing, bid rigging, or other anticompetitive conduct related to the packaged-seafood industry should contact the Antitrust Division's San Francisco Office at 415-934-5300, visit www.justice.gov/atr/contact/newcase.html, or call the FBI tip line at 415-553-7400.

Man Arrested, Charged in Killing of Mississippi Sheriff Deputy James Blair



A suspect was arrested and charged with the killing of a law enforcement officer in Mississippi, authorities said.

Simpson County deputy James Blair was shot and killed while transporting an inmate to a facility in Mendenhall on June 12.

The shooter was named by law enforcement officials as Joaquin Steven Blackwell.

He was arrested on June 13, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said in a statement, after "an extensive manhunt" involving a number of agencies.

Blackwell was charged with capital murder of a peace officer, a crime punishable by death.

An investigation into what happened continues, with an effort to identify any other possible suspect or suspects.

Blackwell was described by law enforcement as armed and dangerous. He was described as a black male with brown eyes and black hair.

He was on foot wearing no shirt and white boxer shorts only, officials said the day before he was arrested.

I hope they keep arresting this scum of the earth.

BLM should be classified as a terrorist organization.

The FBI should spend their time arresting the financial backers of BLM, not the little guys. Arrest George Soros. Arrest the owner of Nike. Arrest CEO of Bank of America. Arrest Jeff Bezos. These are the people aiding and abetting terrorists!

I'm glad they caught that bastard.  Poor mr. blair...poor Mr. Blair's Grandson that he was continuing to work at his age in order to take care of his Grandson.

This murdering SOB has ruined innocent  peoples' lives for his own entertainment.

FBI nabbed accused cop car arsonist by tracing her T-shirt to Etsy

This probe was entirely bespoke.

Federal investigators in Philadelphia used twee shopping site Etsy and a host of social media platforms, including Instagram and Vimeo, to nab a massage therapist accused of torching a cop car, according to a federal complaint.

The suspect, 33-year-old Lore-Elisabeth Blumenthal, was identified by FBI agents who examined footage of a May 30 George Floyd protest and noticed her distinct forearm tattoo and a political T-shirt she was wearing when she allegedly set the police cruiser ablaze.

The T-shirt — which had the phrase "Keep the Immigrants Deport the Racists" emblazoned on it — led investigators to an Etsy page that was selling the custom-made shirts.

I hope all you conservatives on this thread understand that this just isn't fair. In case you forgotten we've got an election coming up and basically what Trump has done with his administration in tow have stopped the lefties from being able to fund their campaigns. How are they going to buy Senate seats congressional seats State governors state attorney generals? How are they going to bribe judges the police district attorneys? Trump has also put a cork in their most lucrative fundraising operations like human trafficking, drugs, money laundering, child sex trafficking and prostitution. It just ain't fair I tell ya!

It's so bad, they're now forced to utilize AntiFa to induce riots, scaring the bejeesus out of lilly-white corps to take a knee and "donate" to BLM via everyone's favorite payment system, Act Blue.

This is text book communist behavior!

They move in, disrupt normal life with riots and looting, then claim they are the ones that can put an end to it, just elect us into power.

If kids knew anything about history, they'd reject the DNC for what they're doing to this country. But after the bloody loss the DNC receives in Nov, it will all come to an end. Oh sure, they'll try other shit, but the enormity of these attacks will come to a stand still.

Like Trump said, sleepy Joe wont have any control over these thugs. Quite the opposite I think.
