And the someone else they sold to was crooked, too:

... majority shareholder Thai Union Group, which is also their main seafood supplier, might have pushed the shrimp promotion in order to boost their own sales at the cost of the retailer’s finances. This ownership structure between parties that are supposed to be on opposite sides of restaurant transactions does appear to be a clear conflict of interest.

The bit about the "Codfather" who went to prison for price fixing and dealing with the Russian mob was interesting, too. Wonderful people all around in this story.
