Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) thinks shareholders might also take a dim view of receiving inaccurate information on an issue they would be asked to vote on at the company’s annual shareholders’ meetings. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court in New York on behalf of an Aetna shareholder, CREW accuses the company of violating the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by sending out false and misleading proxy statements to shareholders.
CREW alleges that Aetna tried to hide nearly $8 million in contributions to the American Action Network (AAN) and the Chamber of Commerce to influence recent elections.
“Aetna pretends to be a model of corporate transparency, but in truth, shareholders have almost no idea which dark money groups the company is funding or how much it is contributing,” CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan said in a statement. “Who knows where else Aetna has been funneling money?”

The truth about corp(se)oRATions - it just keeps getting better and better - Hey?
Yes.
This is true of almost any corporate product you buy these days.
It's particularly egregious when it's done by one providing "health care".
And this, I think, has the capacity to force shareholders to start looking. If it's one thing they don't like it's the loss of profit. Hiding money, you say? Nevah.
Unfortunately, spying on people for the sake of marketing can be very profitable. Plus they can sell not only the tech, but the results.
It's whole new world of privatization.
How cool is that?
Umm............................................
I know.
I could go for a really good emoticon right now.
LOL
It's all about.

Plus power and money.

Shocking - conservatives everywhere must be up in arms about this...... umm wait a mo ....... never mind
Shady judges and prosecutors are a way of life in that region.
Head Doctor Says A Rich Kid Isn't Guilty BECAUSE He's Rich. Reporter Says What We're All Thinking.
Did you hear him admit that there's seperate court systems for the rich?
Makes you wonder if he's invested in the private prison system.
Truly sad.
Texas!
Freedom for some, and liberty, for a select few.
Libe(R)topia, here we come!
Can you say....Ron Lawl?
Or was that Ayn Paul?
Tex's ass Tex-Ass? Land of the fossil fuel insane. Or is that homeland of the fossil fuel insane?
Gerrymandering by wealth created Gringo Bantustan - homeland of the PAH.
The most easily "bought" State in the nation.
Or was that Florida?
Yes, I have been following that. If they are smart they won't elect her.
Texas?
Smart?
Good luck with that.
At least they won't be fracking Dallas.........yet.
