Former Bumble Bee CEO Sentenced To Prison For Fixing Prices Of Canned Tuna
justice.gov | June 16, 2020 | DOJ

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.”

Once it was a (semi-) honest trade,
Your media could not be played.
But now it’s the hard-left brigade:

Confirming what you surely knew:
Conform until they’re sure of you
And you may be deplatformed too
The Screen of Death — of course — is Blue.

But I don’t give a tinker’s damn
If they approve of who I am
Or monitor with hidden cam
Scare me, or bury me in spam

Step on rakes still: we’ll still mock,
I say “Let’s roll!”
I say “Let’s rock!”
Let them ghost-ban, let them block:
Cut my cable, get a shock.
