U.S. marshals last week seized a black 1992 corvette at the home of the president of Brocon Petroleum after the company failed to pay $7,500 in back wages to a former employee. The back wages were the result of a consent judgment filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey to resolve a whistleblower lawsuit filed by the Labor Department in March 2008.  Under the consent judgment, Brocon Petroleum had agreed to pay the former employee’s back wages in addition to removing all reference to suspension or discharge from the employee’s personnel file and posting a notice notifying current employees of their whistleblower rights. However, the company failed to comply with the monetary terms of the consent judgment.

I can think of so many things to say about this, but its late and I can’t tell which are funny.
