The number involves employees over several years, I believe. From previous article: "The government has some specific and serious accusations against B&H as a result of a review conducted between January 2011 and January 2013."

Wait, what? How many people work at B&H?
Online sales are a BIG deal. Like Amazon, B&H sells a lot more than photo gear. When you have a large operation like this you need people or robots doing warehousing, shipping and receiving as well as customer-service and sales.
On B &H's opening page https://www.bhphotovideo.com they list computers, home entertainment, pro audio and telescopes/binoculars as well as cameras, etc.

I never really spent much money at B&H, local outfit matched their prices and I'd much rather support local business. Given the outcome of this allegations, B&H will not get anymore of my money. There are other places out there that deserve it more.

In this day and age we cannot support businesses that support discriminatory practices. B&H shame on you. Especially since you have such a strong Jewish background, you should know what it feels like to be discriminated against.

It's rare that we wouldn't price match to any equally reputable retailer - which B&H most certainly is. You only need email me: [email protected]

I am not privvy to the case. But the settlement suggests wrongdoing was absolutely done - but to what degree I do not know. This being the Internet, people will believe, or think, what they will.

Queue the B&H defenders, who will post momentarily claiming that B&H is faultless, and just paid this money to make the lawsuit go away. 3, 2, 1....
