    Now in the wake of Toyota's response, Tracy says he sees a sequel in the making about corporate abuse of the public. "I know the name of this horror movie.

It's the same screenplay, just a different cast of characters." Biller played an instrumental role for Toyota's legal department in settling accident cases across the country.

Attorney Todd Tracy Asks Is Toyota Speaking With Big Tobacco's Forked Tongue?
  1. It appears from his lawsuit that Dimitrios Biller may have been the lone person with a conscience at Toyota. The more the company slings mud at his reputation, the more I see a sequel to The Insider in the making.

  2. On the one hand Toyota's public relations' flacks say the company has filed a motion to seal Biller's complaint. In the next breath they claim Toyota is not seeking to hide the complaint. You can't have it both ways. We hope the American court system will get Toyota to tell the truth.

  3. If Dimitrios Biller was such an unethical person as Toyota is trying to portray him, why did the company write him a check for $3.7 million when he resigned? Was it hush money? The U.S. Court system needs to get Toyota to tell the truth to accident victims.
