Jay Walker Under Investigation For Labor Violations
from the kick-'im-while-he's-down dept
Jay Walker has not had a good few months. His companies are falling apart. There are investigations galore about the promises his company made. His net worth is dropping like crazy. His magic touch is disappearing. And, now, he's under investigation for labor violations. It seems like it's really a technicality, but you have to wonder if he's cursed in some way. Even William Shatner won't use his services... Maybe Priceline needs new commercials with Jay Walker singing the blues.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Technicality?
I guess there's an assumption built into the law that a business large enough to be affected by it will be run responsibly and won't rise and fall on a schedule timed in days or weeks, but that was before the dot-com boom/bust cycle.
