FYI: A federal magistrate in Philadelphia has granted a former Vanguard Group tax lawyer's request to change his employment retaliation complaint so he can argue that he wasn't fired until after he had reported what he called illegal income tax practices to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The investment company, which has more than doubled to over $5 trillion in assets since he left its employ in 2013, has argued that lawyer David Danon's allegations in the retaliation case — that he was fired for refusing to sign off on underreported income and tax statements — are "without merit." Vanguard "will move to dismiss" the amended complaint, added spokeswoman Carolyn Wegemann on Tuesday.
Regards,
Ted
