Shareholder challenge over related-party transactions
During Benson Seltzer's control of Tyco, the company used corporate funds in transactions involving businesses connected with Seltzer and his family, including the purchase of a Puerto Rican underwear company. Shareholders filed suit, contributing to a broader governance crisis that ended with Seltzer and his sons leaving the company in 1991.
