77. Obviously many, if not most, of you know nothing about qui tam
No way is Bev a sellout just for filing a qui tam or "whistleblower" lawsuit.

Once again, liberals eat their own in the interest of ideological purity.

There are only two ways, as I see it, to have a significant impact on a company like Diebold. One is legislative action prompted by activists. The other is by means of a lawsuit that hits the bastards in the bottom line, where it hurts. Under the current circumstances, you have to choose a strategy and run with it. Time is running short for hope of significant legislative action nationwide. That only leaves one other option.

Most, if not all, of the trashing of Bev on DU (sellout, etc.) has been done by people with no understanding of the legal ramifications of qui tam suits, or by people with vested (and mostly undisclosed)interests in the fight.

Bake, Esq.
