Deal at risk?
http://www.wallstreetdaily.com/2014/07/28/corporate-inversion/

Covidien execution at its finest if the deal doesn't go through. Time to start buying off politicians Joe and exhibiting the "highly ethical behavior" the company is known for, because it was never called Tyco.

This will of course be followed by shareholder lawsuits, DOJ investigations, discovery the company violates FDA rules and regs with no concern for the consequences etc...

What do you think will happen?
 






























I don't believe there is precedent that is being set with this business decision. Walmart is a separate corporation and business model than Covidien or Medtronic. Executive Orders are rare even with the liberal use of the Executive Order that the current administration has prefered. Don't forget that there is a separation of powers and a division between the public and private sector. Why is this even in the equation anyway?

Who do you think has to approve the deal for it to go through? Public.

Who exerts a great deal of influence over public? The President.

You obviously haven't seen a public opinion poll of The President in the past year. He's not influencing anyone these days.

Nothing will happen. The acquisition will go through. Consolidation, sell offs and layoffs will begin.

Link? Public info? Nature of investigations?

Heard RMS, Respiratory in particular, may be in the DOJ, FDA sights.

Agencies oughta reach out to B. Goldstein at Cov in St. Louis. Isn't that Claire McCaskill's state? She probably has a list of current and former employees that filed FDA compliance complaints with ombudsman that were buried or ignored. She may also have knowledge of specific reported compliance violations, or ppl may have communicated these complaints directly to her. Makes one wonder what was done with that info? GM-esque? Sure there is a long line of ppl delighted to speak with agency investigators given how company treats employees.

Better question, aren't there oaths and professional guidelines that govern what actions ppl must take when they are made aware of questionable or illegal activities?

More reports in the news of a potential presidential executive order blocking inversion deals since congress is on a break. Leadership short sighted? Say it ain't so! Failed to assess the political environment? No way! Were they only focused on the $$$ they'd walk away with? Without a doubt! Pretty sure a failed inversion won't look good on a executive bio or resume.

What are you people smoking? If you know of unethical behavior, report it. If you're just sitting around watching TV and trying to justify why you're not hitting your numbers, then shut it. If it's so unethical, why are you still working here?

Wow. Was fraud reported? If so, not good.
