I believe the tax lawsuit is still pending, the most recent documentation I can find from the NY AG is a summons from mid-November of last year: https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2019.11.14_nyag_v._bh_-_summons_complaint.pdf https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2019.11.14_nyag_v._bh_.... There is a corresponding press release from the NY AG office: https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2019/attorney-general-sues-bh-foto-electronics-defrauding-new-york-out-millions-sales https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2019/attorney-general-sues-b...
The 2017 case was settled (https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/ofccp/ofccp20170814 https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/ofccp/ofccp20170814), with B&H agreeing to pay $3.2mm in back wages and "hire a workplace consultant to correct its employment practices and conduct"
They settled a similar 2007 case by distributing $4.3m in monetary relief: https://compensation.blr.com/Compensation-news/Performance-Termination/Performance-Employee-Appraisal/BH-to-Pay-4.3M-to-Settle-Suit-Alleging-Pay-Bias-Ag/ https://compensation.blr.com/Compensation-news/Performance-T...
My point is not that B&H is bad, but that "support small business" doesn't mean that you're supporting an ethical business.
