Renegade:
I feel sorry for that guy.
Seems like the reality is that large companies can do whatever they want against individuals because regular people often don't have the resources to get justice. Yet another reason to limit the "rights" of companies/legal entities.

The company that makes the Max Axess wrench and other tools for Craftsman, the Apex Tool Group, is being acquired by Bain Capital, the company founded by Mitt Romney, in a $1.6 billion deal.
