Carly Fiorina ignored sanctions, sold computers to Iran as CEO of HP
Examiner ^ | 9/17/15 | Robert Sobel

Posted on 09/18/2015 5:56:16 AM PDT by jimbo123

Carly Fiorina left the Republican debate Wednesday night with her head held high. Rapid reaction resulted in high praise for the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, but not all the news was positive.

During one portion of the debate, Fiorina and Republican front runner Donald Trump spared over their business records. Trump hit Fiorina hard, citing a recent editorial by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, of the Yale School of Management , who referred to her as one of the worst CEOs in recent memory. While how bad Fiorina was as CEO of HP is up for debate, a recent report by Bloomberg points out that she illegally sold computers, printers, and other computer related products to Iran, as reported by Headline and Global News on Sept. 16.

Better be careful; Erick Erickson may see something in those words.

If that were to happen and hillary gets nominated you’d have Carly selling embargoed stuff to Iran vs Hillary getting embassy staff killed in Benghazi. Ain’t no lesser in those evils!

Did her cooperation with Iran coincide with her ‘Islam is a wonderful civilization’ speech she gave a week after 9/11?

Wow! They are unloading the dirt on her early, and I don’t think it’s coming from Trump.

Toldya the media was not gonna allow the first female POTUS to be a Republican.

CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS: U.S. Senate race
Profits may not equal success
Carly Fiorina’s business experience is a mixed blessing in political realm.
May 20, 2010

EXCERPT

As she tries to carve out support for herself on with her party’s tax-averse right flank, Fiorina has had to explain why she appeared to support taxation of Internet commerce while running HP. And despite her calls for harsh sanctions against Iran as it develops its nuclear program, an HP subsidiary sold products to Iran through an intermediary while she headed the company, even though a trade embargo was in effect.

HP SALES IN IRAN MAY PUT FIORINA ON THE DEFENSIVE - EX-CEO FACES QUESTIONS ABOUT PRODUCTS SOLD BY SUBSIDIARY

San Jose Mercury News (CA) - August 31, 2009

EXCERPT

Early this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a letter to HP seeking information about the company’s dealings in Iran, Syria and Sudan. HP responded that in fiscal 2008 about $120 million worth of products were sold to Iran by a Dutch subsidiary through a Middle Eastern distributor. But even as the company claimed that those sales were legal because its subsidiary was acting on its own, HP in January announced it was severing ties with Dubai-based Redington Gulf. The distributor had sold HP products to Iran since 1997, two years after the United States imposed a complete ban on exports to Iran.

The announcement came days after The Boston Globe reported from Iran that HP printers had become nearly ubiquitous there despite the embargo.

One former federal trade enforcement official said HP’s dealings with the country are ripe for further investigation. If Fiorina or other HP employees based in the United States were aware that HP products were being resold to Iran, they could face fines or even prosecution for violating the trade embargo, said Mike Turner, former director of the Office of Trade Enforcement at the U.S. Department of Commerce.

It’s over because she’d never win against Hillary. Of course, that might be the plan.
