A just-published bombshell article in the November issue of Bloomberg Markets magazine implicates Koch Industries, the company controlled by Republican mega-donors Charles and David Koch, in dozens of criminal acts around the globe over the past three decades.
According the report, company officials have been caught paying bribes to win contracts, trading with Iran in violation of the U.S. embargo, price-fixing, neglecting safety and ignoring environmental regulations.
The billionaire brothers are major donors to FreedomWorks, the Cato Institute, and dozens of other conservative think-tanks and nonprofits. They have also been tied to several independent expenditure groups supporting Republican candidates across the country and last year The New Yorker exposed the family's efforts to oppose President Barack Obama.

It does deserve to be exposed for what it is, ripped to shreds and ridiculed here though.
Koch Industries is the worlds leading manufacturer of Puppy/Kitten Shredders.
RE: But if they were Hollywood rich, I wouldnt much care...
Many Hollywood types actually DO have money in bank accounts overseas. They seem to be getting away with it. But if it were the Koch Brothers, they would be prosecuted?
Hmmm... Maybe both brothers should take acting lessons or produce a Hollywood film or two starring Johnny Depp.
Where is the Mission Impossible team when you need them? Gotta re-route his plane while making him think he’s landing in a friendly country
A drone would be nice.
I completely agree. If I had enough money to make it worth the effort I would be looking for someplace beyond the reach of the greedy U.S. Treasury to put it. Laws be damned! they mean nothing to this government now.
I can’t say much about Bloomberg, but I can say that Busines Insider is nothing but a leftist rag and should not be linked here at FR. Full of nothing but Dem puff pieces and divide and conquer articles on Republicans.
I hope you are being sarcastic. If not, then you are an idiot.
And let me add that their after-sales service is non-existent.
“Maybe both brothers should take acting lessons...”
Entirely superfluous in today’s Hollywood...
The last time we saw posts from Business Insider and all the other rags you point to was when they started attacking Perry. You are being used.
Do ya blame them? He made a mint shorting their currency.
just another example as how poorly organized the GOP is and how they fight like little girls...
I'm sure my local lib paper will be printing the hit piece on Koch Industries; so it's great to have ammo to hurl back at the drooling lefties.
RE: You are being used
I am being used only if I say I agree witht them. Where in my posts did I do that?
Doesn’t matter too much if you agree with BI or not. Linking to them from here is playing into their scheme of divide and conquer. They post nothing but trash talk about republican candidates.
RE: Doesnt matter too much if you agree with BI or not. Linking to them from here is playing into their scheme of divide and conquer
DISAGREE. Linking to them ( and the NY Times and the Washington Post and other liberal rags out there ) is ACCEPTED PRACTICE in FR and one of the main objectives is for an army of knowledgable FR posters to refute them ( which they already are in this thread ).
Yes, as long as it is clear to everyone that they are reading propaganda, not news.
I think most FReepers are smart enough to know that ( as can be seen with the responses on this thread ).
Dont several countries still have warrents out for the arrest of George Soros?
Soros has warrants out for his arrest in Italy, France, Belgium, Thailand and other countries for manipulating these countries’ economies and financial markets to the point of collapsing those countries’ economies.
I say we send him to Thailand. Their system of justice is what he deserves most.
