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,"
Quoted from article:
Swanson's office alleged in the lawsuit that the National Arbitration Forum secretly worked alongside creditors, and against consumer interests, in seeking to have mandatory, predispute arbitration clauses inserted in credit agreements signed by consumers and potentially arbitrated by the company.

Good grief! Surely businesses wouldn't do anything illegal or unethical to their fellow Americans??!! Say it ain't so!
Private enterprise is always better than govt., right?

Sorry, I must have missed the connection to the republican party.
Was there some legislation put forward by republicans that promoted this sort of conflict of interest?

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.
However, I would point out that it's just ALLEGATIONS at this point, not established fact. How about we wait until a court makes a ruling before heading out on a bashing expedition?
