The Federal Trade Commission has pursued the case of Whole Foods for at least the past TWO years. They are concerned perhaps that the market for organic sour cream will be cornered and that the fat cats at Whole Foods will wind up dominating the free markets of the world with their pernicious brand of organic hippie pinko communistic socialism. How much did Bernie Madoff make off with in the past couple of years? Do you remember the criminal CPA from Enron who cut a deal in exchange for leniency?....Andrew Fastow his name was....about to be sprung out of jail just months after his co-conspirator spouse....assets untouched except for the usual market movements....so the 50 million that he socked away being criminal is probably worth as little as 25 million if he had it all in the typical 401k . Economists are academics in ivory towers. It's the Fastows of the world that are calling the shots and moving markets. “The company, bogged down by the legal fees over the FTC challenge, had posted a drop in first-quarter profit that wasn’t as bad as Wall Street had expected.”
