    … majority shareholder Thai Union Group, which is also their main seafood supplier, might have pushed the shrimp promotion in order to boost their own sales at the cost of the retailer’s finances.

    The bit about the “Codfather” who went to prison for price fixing and dealing with the Russian mob was interesting, too. Wonderful people all around in this story.
