re: Sharon Lewis Just Burned The House Down!

I am not an attorney nor have I ever worked in a law firm.

I worked for a multi-location automotive franchised dealership in the late 80's which was sued under the RICO statute for those "customer service package" additions to vehicle purchases that were nothing but some oil change coupons and other pretty much worthless discount coupons, most of which was covered under factory warranty.

The HR and other discriminatory parts that many posters are commenting on are not at all the big ticket item. The RICO part is.

When sued, the dealerships' very prominent law firm went into full panic and defense mode because, to quote their team, "you don't wait for RICO discovery, you do your best to mitigate the damage because there will be damage and lots of it."
