Interesting!
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories...shtmlQuote »A former attorney for Toyota has accused the automaker of illegally withholding evidence in hundreds of rollover death and injury cases, in a "ruthless conspiracy" to keep evidence "of its vehicles' structural shortcomings from becoming known."

The lawsuit further states that the resulting conflicts ultimately caused Biller to suffer a mental breakdown and led to his forced resignation in September 2007. He left with a $3.7 million severance agreement, court records show. This is where it gets hairy. That's an awfully hefty severance package, kind of like "shut you up" money. On the other hand, Toyota will surely argue that his mental state, or breakdown or whatever has left him unsound and with a vendetta against his former employer. Ah, the intrigue.

I was a rifed long time attorney for a Fortune 100 Company. If they gave me $3.7 Mil severance any vendetta I might have had would be history.
