OPINION
$2 Billion Company Leaving Delaware to Reduce “Opportunistic and Frivolous Litigation,” Calling Out Kathaleen McCormick and Delaware’s Chancery Court?
Dear Friends,
ArcBest Corporation, valued at over $2 billion, has filed to leave Delaware and move the company to Texas. The company says Texas has “more clarity and predictability” and it wants to reduce “opportunistic and frivolous litigation” with no corporate benefit.
As I see it, they’re pointing at Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick and Delaware’s Chancery Court, which is corrupt, as I’ve been saying for years now. More than 50 companies have left Delaware since 2024, leaving the state with a huge hole to fill, as America’s First State brings in less revenue.

Respectfully Yours,
