Notes[edit]

This is the start of a talk section of Ovson Egg. If anyone has new informatation, please add to the talk page. Thanks. --Trust101 04:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Corporate crime[edit]

I disapprove linking this article to the category "Corporate Crime". Yes, Morris pleaded guilty but he plea bargained with the prosecutor for a reduced sentence. Second of all, Ovson Egg was a partnership until the partners were bought out, not a corporation. Therefore, it is unfair to link this article to major corporations such as Enron, Exxon/Mobil, etc. --Trust101 01:10, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's a category link, not an accusation, and if you don't like it then just take it out because I'm not going to have yet another one of these arguements. Cryptonymius 05:51, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave it up to the experts in corporate crime to decide whether this article should be linked. --Trust101 17:52, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Revamp[edit]

I radically revamped this article and Wikified it. I also added inline citations, and some new references. I removed much of the biographical information about Ovson (that belongs in an article about him, not on this page), as well as much of the extra information about the criminal figures linked to Morris and Leo Ovson (that should go on each criminal's respective page, as it was not important to the Ovson bribery case). I also did some general clean-up, clarified terms and the history, removed external links which were not directly about this article, and added new external links which are. - Tim1965 15:50, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Supreme Court[edit]

I put the information about H.J. Keith suing the United States Supreme Court in 1912 and referencing it. This is important history in the frozen egg industry. Had the Supreme Court rules against H.J. Keith, his company and the frozen egg industry would have been out of business and Ovson Egg wouldn't have been founded. --Trust101 04:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
