Controversies


 * Propose adding the following sentence (in bold) as the third sentence in this section to account for the fact that charges connected to the 2017 settlement were dismissed in March 2020 per the terms of the deferred prosecution agreement. Updated, the first few lines of this section would read (proposed addition in bold):

In 2017, Western Union admitted to anti-money laundering and consumer fraud violations and agreed to pay $586 million in a settlement with the Department of Justice.[5] Among other charges, the Justice Department showed that Western Union was complicit in creating an ecosystem where criminals were able to engage in consumer fraud and human trafficking. '''The charges were dismissed in March 2020. '''


 * Is there a secondary source for this or is there just a primary? What about a press release from Western Union? &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 15:59, 21 January 2021 (UTC)


 * The dismissal wasn’t picked up in media or another secondary source beyond the Department of Justice’s notice I used, but I’ve provided a couple of additional references below that validate the fact that those charges were dropped in March 2020 – the order granting dismissal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and Western Union’s Q1 2020 10-Q SEC filing. Thanks for reviewing and please let me know of any other questions. Jon Gray (talk) 23:31, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Edit Request - infobox
NOTE: I am proposing this edit for FleishmanHillard on behalf of Western Union. I am a paid editor and aware of the COI guidelines. I am submitting this edit request to propose a correction to the infobox. Currently, the Chairman position is listed being held by Jack M. Greenberg, however Jeffrey A. Joerres was appointed to the Chairman role in 2020. Thus, we propose updating the infobox to reflect this change. Thank you for your consideration. Caleb Fenner (talk) 20:11, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Eastern Onion singing telegrams
Did Western Union's lawyers force the Western Onion singing telegram company to change its name to Eastern Onion because its parody name was too close to Western Union? 17.185.2.65 (talk) 19:11, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
