First they poisoned their workers, then they poisoned democracy.
Rich parasites sucking the lifeblood of America.
Why is this article (almost completely) written like there are multiple brothers at this point? One has been dead for 4 and a half years.
Well, they mention that David is dead. But being dead doesn’t get him off the hook, so glad they keep talking about them as a group
That’s what I thought, I was worried they’d found a way to reanimate the bastard.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Asbestos victims, their families and attorneys are claiming a Koch Industries-owned company and its lawyers are using a controversial bankruptcy maneuver to avoid paying millions in compensation to its former employees.
The case has come as the Koch brothers’ political network has pushed for legislation to protect companies facing asbestos-related claims and limit payouts for victims.
The billionaire Charles Koch and his late brother David have funded and supported legislative efforts to make it more difficult for asbestos victims and their families to collect compensation.
Clay Thompson, an attorney with MRHFM, the largest law firm in the US devoted to mesothelioma cases, said that Georgia-Pacific was defending and resolving asbestos claims without any financial distress or need for bankruptcy protections before initiating the Texas two-wtep maneuver.
Either the victims will cave and take pennies on the dollar in a bogus fraudulent billionaire bankruptcy attempt, or they just delay and that’s what’s largely happened.”
He said none of the asbestos victims will receive anything until a final plan is confirmed and all appeals are exhausted as attorneys have sought to fight the Texas-Two step maneuver.
The original article contains 1,108 words, the summary contains 184 words. Saved 83%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
If you have enoigh power and influence to write laws this specific and it actually fucking works, you have far too much power. Remember, these are all real people, that have to exist somewhere on Earth. Don’t let them sleep peacefully while they wield their command over the material like this.
I have always, and will continue to, condemn the Koch brothers, both living and dead, just on principal.
Performing Chemical Attacks on American Citizens? We should give these guys a Tax Cut!
Assholes.
