My last conversation with my former client, the late Darryll Bolduc, happened nearly two decades ago, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday.

Although it couldn’t happen to a more deserving company, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s disclosure that he’s investigating Lululemon for toxic “forever chemicals” smacks of performance politics.
Paxton’s press release briefly wiped out billions in Lululemon’s market value before any facts were established — violating the principle that even corporations are innocent until proven guilty.
