This belief that DEKALB had stolen Pioneer germplasm comes from a case settled in 1998 and carried forward with the purchase of DEKALB by Monsanto. The case was settled, I believe in 1999. My memory on the details are too sketchy and might only create new rumors or speculation.
If this claim had been verified, Pioneer would have slaughtered DEKALB.
