We're pretty sure we haven't written anything about Wal*Mart since Julie Roehm skipped town. Nevertheless, a reader sent the following:

It seems odd that just six months after hiring Lee Scott's son, Eric Scott, Bill Schwyhart now has a Neighborhood Market with no advertising for alternate sites, a proposed site for relocating Walton Arts Center, and is now apparently off to China with Eric to drum up Chinese vendor prospects for his developments. Surely a twenty-something new hire without name recognition or clout would not have made such an impact. Seems a bit too transparent for a company bent on ethics and transparency.

Hmmm. Interesting. Share your thoughts in the comments. And, as always, a tip of the hat to our tipster.
