Three Wal-Mart employees, including a company officer, also lost their jobs. The world’s largest retailer said it asked Thomas M. Coughlin, who is also a former president and CEO of the company’s stores division, to step down because of “a disagreement” over the results of the probe, which involves between $100,000 and $500,000, and his “response to questions concerning his knowledge of certain transactions,” according to a regulatory filing.

So there was one man committing some internal fraud. He's been caught and WalMart is dealing with it. Are you trying to make WalMart sound evil for this or something?
