I think business majors/leaders now have the esteem of being lumped into accident attorneys, and other shucksters whose main purpose in life is not to make money…but to STEAL money, or put a 90-year old grandmother out on the streets(LEGALLY, since if the law says so, it MUST be the right thing to do(if your missing some brain mass))

Why slap WAL-MART on the wrist? It just will be written off as a loss, and absorbed by the consumer, and they just continue doing business as usual…

Makes me want to hang up in my office pictures of “famous” CEO’s.

God help us in America, really. We are going down the tubes very fast…

empire directKPMG has been appointed administrator to Empire Direct and its subsidiary company Empire Property UK at the request of the directors.

The Leeds-based company, which has a turnover of £150m and is the UK’s largest independent electrical retailer, operates primarily online but had 14 retail outlets, which have now closed. The administrator has made 158 out of 350 staff redundant.

Empire Direct hit the buffers after suffering in the economic downturn and subsequently experiencing a drop in sales from the middle of last year. It was also affected by the withdrawal of credit insurance to its suppliers in October.

KPMG said parties interested in acquiring any assets of the business should contact them as soon as possible.

KPMG joint administrator and restructuring partner Mark Firmin said: “Low stock levels and operating losses mean the business cannot continue to trade in administration.

“We are working hard with the remaining employees to establish a list of customers with outstanding orders and much of our immediate effort will be focused on communicating with them.”

If you have been affected by this latest tragic loss then let us know?!

This guy is taking all these “news” sources for a ride. He is saying for a limited time he is not going to make a profit and selling his guns at cost. Supposedly he is one of the largest dealers in the states and his “at cost” prices are higher then a lot of smaller ma and pa shops at their full retail price!!!! What a lier… hopefully someone puts a cap in his head sooner then later.
if you lie you should die. what good are liars? why support liars.
What does this have to do with background checks? He lied to you and me saying his guns are being sold at cost!!! that is pure BS. This has nothing to do with gun rights, I shoot 5 stand and doubles and would never give up my browning. This is about a capitalist liar!!!
