Masefield AG has a British board of directors. It also has an office in Houston, Texas. Who runs it? The indicted Oscar Wyatt?
Remember which lawyer represented Marc Rich's interests to BJ Clinton? I believe his name was Scooter.
Are you kidding?
Volcker report is only meant to look for scapegoats in countries that "opposed" the war against Iraq.
Any account of how many American companies and high-level American politicians involved?
