    In American Express case, a group of small business merchants brought a class action in court, claiming that American Express is violating antitrust laws with a binding arrangement by using its control power over charge cards to force merchants to take all their credit cards and pay higher fees. The merchants sought to pursue claims against American Express jointly in a class action lawsuit (Olson, 2015). American Express progressed to force the case into individual adjudication with no class action possible. The retailers obtained evidence which showed that the costs of an individual arbitration would have been many times more than the possible maximum amount of damages that each would recover.…

    Data breaches caused by illegal hacking at Target were in themselves tragedies and worrisome events; not only for the company, but for the customers in general who shop at the store locations nation-wide. However, considering various steps taken by Target upon realization of the breaches, it is hard to defend or picture exact wrongful doings or violation of laws by Target. Let’s keep in mind that electronic data and information breaches are hard to prevent; this is mostly due to interconnectivities of globally devices. As such, laws do not persecute companies for hackers breaking into their networks; instead, there are laws binding companies to put required secure methods and practices in place to mitigate hacking or data thefts; also, once a breach is noticed, laws require that such incident be reported immediately and those affected be notified. Here's what happened after; "Target alerted authorities and financial institutions immediately after we discovered and confirmed the unauthorized access, and we are putting our full resources behind these efforts.…

    I believe that the auditors in this case, Ernst & Whinney, should have great blame in not having the sufficient information and knowledge to fall into the pressure of the bribes committed by Minkow and analyze the fraud that was occurring. The upper management in ZZZZ Best made the financial information seem perfectly fine, therefore the auditors were unable to identify any miscalculations that would then lead to fraud. Minkow and his company for years kept on staling the fact that his insurance business had an actual positive cash flows system occurring. This would keep the auditors from seeing the main problem concerning the fraud that was started from the very beginning by Minkow and his carpet/insurance business. As this wasn’t enough fake information conducted by…
