FYI: Nearly five years after he left Vanguard Group, David Danon, the investment giant’s former tax lawyer, has given his most complete account of his attempts to warn the Malvern-based company of what he says were tax violations.
The company fired him for making that warning, and doing his job, which paid $275,000 a year, Danon alleges in an amended wrongful-termination complaint filed in federal court in Philadelphia last month.
Regards,
Ted

Vanguard Group has urged the federal court in Philadelphia to dismiss its former tax lawyer David Danon’s wrongful-firing lawsuit, arguing that he wasn’t protected as a whistle-blower under the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial-reform law because he didn’t appeal to the Securities and Exchange Commission until after the company told him in January, 2013, that he would be terminated.
