CNN reports that people who bought StarKist tuna between February 19, 2009 through October 31, 2014 can take home $25 in cash or $50 of tuna due to a class action lawsuit settlement claiming that StarKist put less tuna in their cans than advertised. Federal law requires 5 ounce cans to contain between 2.84-ounces and 3.23-ounces of tuna, depending on the type. The plaintiff, Patrick Hendricks, had independent testing done on the cans, determining that they had as much as 17.3 percent less tuna than the federally mandated minimum. StarKist must pay up to $8 million in cash and $4 million in food vouchers as part of the settlement in United States District Court in Northern California. StarKist did not admit fault but agreed to a settlement in which it will pay $8 million in cash and $4 million in vouchers to purchase StarKist tuna. People can sign up for the settlement at the lawsuit website. They don't need a receipt, but they will need to swear that they purchased the tuna.

What the actual fuck. This from ruanway, the vitriolic guy that a large percentage of the userbase thinks is an asshole because he is passionate about calling out bullshit when he sees it (ignoring whether or not it actually exists) and he is being polite on fish fraud. This is 100% out of character. Are you heavily invested in canned fish futures? What gives.
Accidentally my ass. That is what runaway would say in any other situation. He would go on a 500 word rant and inject 200 more per person that tries to refute it. Now it is all "apparently" and "accidentally". Please.
Are you sick? Loved one died? Or simply so goddamned tired of being fed up that it is simply easier to roll over? I am genuinely worried.

Lol. I bet he's worked in a cannery or other food processing plant at least once.
Hot heads rarely get hot and bothered about stuff they actually understand.
