The lawsuit, filed in Hennepin County District Court, claims that a group of New York hedge funds managed by Accretive LLC in 2006 and 2007 invested in the arbitration company and also acquired a majority stake in a debt collection agency called Axiant LLC, which acquired the collection operations of the law firm Mann Bracken. Despite these connections, the forum held itself out as "independent and neutral,"

liberals are just as bad as conservatives. dont stand on your high horse unless you are willing to talk about the GE debacle and it paying no tax at all, courtesy of the democrat party.
We should get used to it. Thanks to Citizen's United, corporations are just one step away from actually writing the laws that govern them and protect actual breathing people.
