Gibson Guitar Knows Why The Federal Government Raided Them

Shared from Zite

With no clear legal standards, a sealed warrant the company has not been allowed to see too this day, no formal charges filed, and the threat of a prison term hanging over any executive who does not take "due care" to abide by this absurdly vague law, Gibson settled. "You're fighting a very well organized political machine in the unions," Juszkiewicz concluded. "And the conservation guys have sort of gone along." Hey, what's not to like about $50,000?

Gibson Guitar Knows Why The Federal Government Raided Them

pjmedia.com - The August 24, 2011 raid of Gibson Guitar in Tennessee wasn't really about wood from endangered tree species. It never was.

Gibson's very success made it a fat target for federal prosecutors, whom [Gibson CEO] Juszkiewicz alleges were operating at the behest of lumber unions and environmental pressure groups seeking to kill the market for lumber imports. "This case was not about conservation," he says. "It was basically protectionism."
