Kroger’s CEO mysteriously resigned. An unrelated lawsuit involving Jewel could reveal why
Fortune Magazine: Eric Chaffee, professor and the Peter M. Gerhart Distinguished Research Scholar at the School of Law, said the former Kroger CEO's forfeiture of $11 million in benefits suggests he avoided revealing damaging information. In a lawsuit tied to Kroger’s Wellness Festival, Chaffee said probing his resignation could test credibility, with transparency weighed against the risk of embarrassment.
