Although the article is not yet available online, today's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette is reporting that Jared Bowen, one of those fired in connection with the Tom Coughlin matter, will petition Wal-Mart's board of directors to reconsider his termination. Bowen and his attorney appear to be claiming whistleblower status.
Other tidbits in the article:
Bowen claims to have given Coughlin $5,100 in gift cards which Coughlin claimed would be given to "all-star" managers at the shareholder's meeting. However, Coughlin did not want the awarding of these cards to be put on the meeting agenda and said he'd mail them out himself.
Bowen is cooperating with the FBI investigation of the matter and quotes an unnamed agent as saying, "the investigation is growing tentacles every day".

Disclosure: I knew Jared from working on a few projects with him. I hadn't heard that he'd been promoted to VP, but I am not surprised. He could definitely get things done.
