Won’t change anything for him.

The pizza mogul who was accused of using racial slurs during an internal conference call with a marketing firm in May is now accusing that firm — Los Angeles-based Laundry Service — of trying to extort $6 million from the Louisville, Ky., chain to keep quiet about the call.


quote:

They wanted $6 million to make it go away,” Schnatter told a local CBS affiliate. “‘If I don’t get my f–king money, I’m going to bury the founder,’ said one of the executives,” Schnatter told WLKY. “I’m not for sale,” Schnatter continued. “We held firm and they ran to Forbes, which printed it.”



quote:

Schnatter claims that Laundry Service leaked the details about the conference call to Forbes only after it did not receive a payment. The marketing firm informed him of its demand about two weeks after the conference call, he said during the WLKY interview.

It won't but it will be jail time for someone if he has proof. Extortion using a phone is very federal "pound me in the arse" prison illegal

He’s still a world class douche. Him getting bounced over what he said was the just the vehicle they’ve been looking for to get him out over his poor decision making the last few years. Same goes with his spot on the UofL Board of Trustees.

I say all this is because he didn't take the side of the football players. They were out to get him.
If what he says is true, he should sue the hell out of them.

No other NFL corporate sponsor took a side because they were smart enough to not step on a live landmine. He was the only idiot wading in because Jerry Jones told him to. He's got no one to blame but himself for all the missteps.

This. Did Forbes really not call him for an interview additionally? Is that not standard (nothing is standard) protocol for a story on someone is to get their side? I would have thought the moment Schnatter heard about this story his PR team would have announced he had been baited and then extorted.

This article says that some other ad agency pressured him, he's just trying to dig himself out of a hole, but it's not going to work.
