For example, look at this Washington Post story titled "American at Center of Kazakh Oil Probe."
It starts out with: On a rainy August day last year, an American entrepreneur named James H. Giffen sat in the clubby surroundings of his favorite London hotel, the Dorchester, immersed in an effort to defuse a high-stakes scandal: allegations that millions of dollars from U.S. oil companies had been used to bribe high officials in the Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan.
And includes: The Giffen camp disputes this version of events, describing it as "not correct" but declining to provide further details.Giffen's lawyer, Mark MacDougall, said his client would have "nothing more to say in response to this latest tale of intrigue."
