- The Connecticut Law Tribune has an article online regarding a recent WWE licensed merchandise fiasco which ended with WWE vice president of licensing and marketing Jim Bell being fired from the company. Bell, whose job was to license WWE products to several companies nationwide found it more profitable to deal with Stanley Shenker of Stanley Shenker & Associates and let him do the licensing, secretly splitting the outside agent fee. Shenker never fully admitted in court of his wrongdoing however when WWE attorneys got CEO of T-Shirt manufacturer Trinity Products Inc., to testify in court, he revealed that he was offered a secret exclusive right to sell WWE clothing to Wal-Mart for 2 percent kickbacks to Stanley Shenker & Associates. The judge in charge of the suit forced Shenker to forfeit his his multimillion-dollar suit for unpaid fees, due to conduct that a judge said "defiled the judicial system." It's quite an interesting read with the full story here.
