3M Says No Evidence That Products Have Been Seized

- throwaway9587 7y agoPublic Service Announcement for non-lawyers: "I have no evidence X happened": "I did it and destroyed the evidence" "I can't remember doing X": "I did it and can't destroy the evidence" In other words: If you catch up to me with actual evidence, I'm proven not to lie (note that in several jurisdictions, lying might be illegal, especially as a witness). There's nothing quite like corpspeak, just my favorite: "I'm planning to have more time with my family": "The investors or my cofounder fired me"
- rumanator 7y agoYeah, the statement does sound like a blatant attempt at plausible deniability.
- mardifoufs 7y agoI mean has there been any evidence? How could evidence of this even be covered up? The masks have to be somewhere. I mean 3M already criticised the US government for cutting mask exports so why would they suddenly lie and say they don't think anything has been seized? If anything I think they are trying to be diplomatic here by not directly saying that the whole thing isn't true.
- ruth9 7y agoIs there a reason why the US government hasn't assigned a czar to oversee this company and address the shady behavior?
- mardifoufs 7y agoHow hard is it to track down the shipments? Is there any proof from the European countries that the US really seized the masks? I'm just confused by this whole story and I don't understand how this has not been clarified yet.
