That’s the 40 year reputation he’s worked so hard to build: oversweet tomato purée with no nutrition facts published.

This is such horseshit.

Don’t know if others reas the article but they made her stand in a cell with water on the floor, for at least twelve hours.

That’s like Abu Ghraib level indignity and prisoner abuse. Over some lost tomato purée contracts.

This should be a civil matter, but it’s being treated as a criminal matter.

Fuck this guy, and fuck the corrupt government he’s using to torment this lady.
