RE: There have been articles about this article already posted, apparently the RS article is wrong on about 90% of its facts

Can you cite me a few sources rebutting this please? Thanks.

I’m looking. It was specifically about how the author writes about their involvement in oil, where he is hilariously wrong.

((I am having a hard time finding the article. I don’t know why, I remember it on FR from about a week or so ago. Unless it was pulled for some reason.))

The magazine article accuses the Koch brothers of holding oil in ships off-shore to raise oil prices. It is absurd to try and make a scandal where one does not exist. It accuses them of being speculators, but they buy and sell real oil.
