I believe Asplundh Tree Expert, LLC is owned by the Asplundh family.

The fine wasn't Oz's.

Dr. Oz says he'll fight to end illegal immigration. A business owned by his family, in which he is a shareholder, faced the largest fine in ICE history for hiring unauthorized workers.

The heart surgeon turned TV personality turned Donald Trump-endorsed politician — better known as Dr. Oz — quickly faced backlash from social-media users who called him a liar and shared stories related to a fine levied against a business started by his wife's grandfather.

The tree-pruning company Asplundh Tree Experts Co., a business for which Oz is listed as a shareholder on regulatory documents, settled with US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in 2017 after a six-year investigation and audit revealed a systemic effort to hire unauthorized workers.

You have some scruples because you acknowledged making a mistake and tried to correct it. I don't think Republicans would care too much about correcting a mis-statement (out right lying) if it helped their cause. That's the point I'm trying to make (with mild humor ).

and was refuting a mis-statement by another poster claiming Dr. Oz's family was not involved.

It was.

Done with this loop, hope all have a good day.

Quite a stretch in my eyes to call it an Oz family business.

They gave Oz's campaign money. If Oz even has any involvement that involves ownership
then please present it.

I presented my case in the OP. More stuff is out out there in the googleverse for those who want to find it.

Oz is a con man, just like TFG, plain and simple. Always has been, always will be. A charlatan. A reTHUGlican.

Pennsylvania needs John Fetterman, not some NJ carpetbagger con man...please vote for John in November.

Where is the proof that Oz has any ownership in Asplundh? I didn't see it in the article.

If you didn't see it in this article, there are many others out there. We're all quite capable of looking it up, if we really want to.

Furthermore, Oz does not live in PA. He's resided in New Jersey for years.
