This guy Brooks is from a company called DHB that supplies armor for our troops. The armor was defective and US soldiers got killed and wounded. The armor was recalled. Brooks then diluted the shares of his company driving the stock price from about $16 a share down to about $4 a share, screwing the shareholders of his company. He made I think about $70 million dollars or more in one year! This guy is incredible! WOW

He sounds like a scumbag, but $10 million is a bit hard to believe.

If it is so bad why does the military buy it?
Or does no one else offer anything better?

Why, how dare you question your "betters?" Don't you know he made his money honestly in the "free" market of government contracts?
You should be THANKFUL that men such as this exist..selflessly providing for our soldiers at a reasonable cost to taxpayers.
If you don't like it, you should save up your pittance (after taxes, of course) and start a competing company! I'm sure you have the appropriate "connections."
No?...well, it's too bad you weren't born into the "right" family; but happily you should still be able to bribe your way into the mix. Get on it!

This whole story is nothing more than a veiled attack on Cheney and Halliburton. It is a sorry attempt to show corruption.
Obviously private companies have a right to make a profit.
If the president of this company spends lavishly on his daughter from his own wealth, that his business and not any matter for the public or the government.
