Organza Quiz posted:"I know where you live" is not a direct threat. He has made other threats, to multiple other people. "don't make me angry, I will hurt you" "i will end you" among others. Mr. Nice! posted:If someone is stalking/harassing you, call your local non-emergency police line and ask what to do. This type of poo poo is routine for them. They may even have the procedures posted online because this is a common enough problem. Someone mailing you a book to harass you is not mail fraud, though, because they're not trying to take anything from you. I did that, they told me to wait to hear back from the postal inspectors. I want to know if there's anything else I should be following up on while I wait to hear back.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this question but I'm not really sure where else it would go. Is there a legal/regulatory reason that in the US we have companies trying to make their own rapid coronavirus tests, instead of just using the ones that South Korea already has and that appear to work well? Or is it just part of the general refusal of the US to learn anything from other countries?

I think they rejected the help so that the president's son-in-law and various Republican donors could invest heavily in making their own tests. There are some regulatory hurdles to getting tests accepted, but they've mostly been waived now as long as you're well-connected. The problem with South Korean tests ultimately is that it's harder for the administration to make a profit off them.

There's strong regulatory pressures that are difficult to handle if you're not already in the market. The CDC sought to monopolize testing early on and it turns out they don't know how to do quality manufacturing. I used to work for a place that managed to get an EUA for their test and I understand it was difficult to get data together in time, even with the test being based on an approved assay with minimal part#s changed.

You never mentioned any threats against a child before. 2. In general, most people seem to be more focused on pointing out that, even if the circumstances are as you describe them, it's not "mail fraud" and probably much more of a concern for local law enforcement than postal inspectors. 3. That said, in general my impression is that even local law enforcement isn't terribly keen on refereeing online slapfights, even if they get heated, unless there are credible threats of violence or maybe if it's constant harassment over a period of time.

I have a corporate law question. Let's say one person, a Mr. M, is the majority owner and CEO of a large corporation, and has, in recent years, driven it into the ground. Is there any way for other shareholders to force them to give up control or can they do nothing but sell the stock and get out of the game?

VanSandman posted:I have a corporate law question. I'm assuming in your hypothetical he's just a moron rather than actively stealing or poo poo. A CEO may be liable for a breach of the duty of care: i.e. the shareholders can sue him for being a negligent idiot. Would highly depend on the state and the specific facts, and would be a hard case to win, and you would need to show a lot more than he was making decisions that, in hindsight, were bad.

VanSandman posted:I have a corporate law question. Lots of different large corporations have lots of different types of shareholders, and voting stock and rights and poo poo. The short answer to your question is, "Not exactly, the board of Directors typically hires and fires the CEO (but in some corps, the CEO is elected by Shareholders).", but yes, there are certain kinds of shareholder voting rights in some corporations where if one shareholder has enough of the shares they can get the votes necessary for those kinds of actions. Lastly, there is a kind of lawsuit where shareholders can sue the corporation for not doing everything it can to maximize the shareholder's stock value, but these are rare and typically unsuccessful.

The later are usually thrown out with the “business judgment rule” which is the judge doesn’t insert her own opinion in what is a “bad deal” and defers to the business judgment of the people who got her a judgeship in the first place

Ford, where dem Dodge Brothers successfully sued progressive Jews-hater Henry Ford for giving "I think it will help people" as his reason for re-investing profits in the company. If he had still decided to raise salaries and invest profits in more factories, but instead had said "I think it will help the company," Ford could have won. The Dodge brothers were both murdered by a notorious gang of flu viruses shortly thereafter, and so only their widows got to watch capitalism unhinge its jaw and begin swallowing the country.

I like the Del SC’s style of using footnotes in opinions I should start doing that in my legal writing all the time. It makes it so much more readable. However assassination by parenthetical quote is still awesome The other parties claims are completely stupid. See eg (“their case is completely without merit.”)

Yeah, as a general rule CEOs are hired and fired by a corporation's board of directors. The board of directors is appointed by vote of the shareholders. So a CEO can be fired by the board of directors if they lose confidence in him, and a shareholder's recourse is to either sell and get out, or convince enough other shareholders to vote out enough of the board that they get new directors willing to remove the CEO. This can all be complicated by the actual corporate documents and the relevant contracts. For instance, articles of incorporation could reserve a certain number of board seats for specific classes of shareholders (or individuals). That's pretty common when you've got minority shareholders who demand a seat at the table, or founders who are selling public stock to raise capital but want to retain control of the company. The articles could also provide for appointment of a specific CEO, a supermajority to fire the CEO, etc. I haven't looked at Tesla's articles or whether there are preferred classes and all that, so you'd have to go digging there. As a practical matter, publicly-traded corporations tend to be controlled by large voting blocks of investors (mostly pensions or other institutional investors) that appoint boards of directors that hire CEOs. Individual investors can only very rarely get the voting share to do anything, because they don't bother to coordinate as a large enough group.

For clarity, a claim of "waste" is part of a suit to recover money because the corporation you own shares of did such an awful job with its own assets. This means that if a shareholder can prove that a Corporation just 'gave away' money, they can sue the corporation and win. Now guess how many board members think about that when somebody suggests they do something charitable with corporate money.

I got a notice from an insurance abrogation place - basically, I got injured at a gym years ago and needed physical therapy to fix it. I think my insurance is going after the gym owner to make him pay for it, which doesn't bother me since the guy sucks, but they're asking for details and whether I have an attorney and stuff. My understanding was I tell them what happened and they deal with it, I don't want to get dragged into a whole thing with this guy, and I don't even remember the specifics very well anymore because it wasn't a huge deal at the time. I just still had the injury months later and it wasn't getting better so I went in to get it fixed. A couple other people have been injured at this place recently too so I wonder if someone got money out of him and is trying to find other claimants to come forward or something. My question is if I go ahead and give them details what happens, do I have to come in and testify and stuff? I'm not getting any money or anything out of it so I'm disinclined to spend a bunch of time and stress on it.

Couldn't you make a pretty easy argument that charitable giving could be considered explicitly advertising, PR, or even a form of compensation in the form of warm fuzzies for your employees?
