CBS Market Watch "Big Charts" Web Site ^ | 7/10/2002 | MarketWatch.com

12:57PM Halliburton responds to Judicial Watch lawsuit (HAL) by Michael Baron Halliburton (HAL) is off 30 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $13.82, in midday action. The company is out with a press release responding to a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C.-based legal watchdog group. The suit alleges fraudulent accounting practices at Halliburton took place during the period when current vice president Dick Cheney served as its chairman and CEO. Halliburton called the claims in the suit, "untrue, unsupported, and unfounded." The company continued: "We are working diligently with the SEC to resolve its questions regarding the company's accounting procedures. Halliburton has always followed and will continue to follow guidelines established by the SEC and GAAP, General Accepted Accounting Principles."

Well I don't let polls dictate to me the issues. The facts speak for themselves in the Complaint and perhaps we will see this through discovery.

Well you may be right to a certain extent about the spin factor. But when it comes to the issues, I don't Larry would be wasting his time going after a government official if something had not gone wrong with the books leaving investors pissed off for their loss of investments to be lost due to a hushed up scandal that probably smells from the higher ups.

The only reason why discovery wouldn't happen is because we have those in our federal court system who are probably paid to throw out cases.

Even so, in our federal court system, we have a thing called the criminal grand jury to investigate corruption of such white collar crime as this.

Are you JW's Deep Throat or something?

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by that statement. I support JW and believe in what they stand for alone. That...No one is above the Law.

Are you for real ? Larry would sue anyone, anywhere, at any time, over nothing !

And as far as investors suing, because they've lost money, it's only lately, that spoiled, stupid people who think that the Market goes just one way ... UP ... think that they have the right " to sue re a Stock Market loss.

Spoiled stupid people? This is an issue of fudiciary trust that those inside this scandal know are in trouble. They had a fudiciary duty to disclose of certain information to the investors. And I hope those investors sue that Halliburton corporation until they scream. Better yet, maybe put some of those while collar professionals behind bars for fraud, enbezzlement, SEC violations, etc.

Mark Twain wrote something called The Literary Offences of James Fennimore Cooper. I've never read it, though.

As I understand it, Twain had two major gripes with Cooper. One was his literary style, which is definitely pre-modern. The other was that Cooper clearly felt that individual American Indians were capable of high moral qualities. As an American who lived near the frontier, Twain did not consider Amerindians to be truly human.

I don't put my money in big corporations. I put mine in gold and platinum. Whether they are judges, the President or V. President of the U.S., bankers, and congressmembers, still I believe that noone is above the law! Guess that makes me a sucker, huh?

Nope, the suckers are those who fail to do nothing about the cabal of white collar crime taking place in our government offices and leadership.

Oh for goodness sakes ! Do get a grip. People will go to jail, if they are found to have committed wrong doing; however, suing a company, such as Enron or Imclone, which is virtually penniless, won't do anyone any good.

Your utter lack of knowledge, about the STock Market ( or , evidently, any other of the markets ) is palable ! No one " sued " after the Crash of '29, or the most recent one, in '87. No one sued Joe Kennedy, who, FYI, made the '29 one, much worse and actually ruined what was about to become an uptick, since he and jis pals were shorting the Market.

You'll find it better, dear, to NOT talk about things that you don't know about or understand. From your posts, I bet you think that that woman, who spilled hot coffee in her lap and sued, was doing a great thing. Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh !

That wasn't the point. The point was

Larry lied about the poll.

Can't you see that?

The facts speak for themselves in the Complaint and perhaps we will see this through discovery.

I doubt it. Most of the "facts" have already been debunked on this thread and others by people who have a clue about corporate accounting.

Goldi, I took the liberty of addressing several of your posts at once...

...I don't Larry would be wasting his time going after a government official if something had not gone wrong with the books leaving investors pissed off for their loss of investments to be lost due to a hushed up scandal that probably smells from the higher ups.

Here's a clue: one of the investors Larry is suing on behalf of MADE money.

Here's another clue: One of Larry's charges is that the accounting change wasn't disclosed, when it clearly was, in the annual report.

Third clue: Larry is suing BECAUSE Dick Cheney is involved - no other reason - otherwise he'd be suing on behalf of shareholders of Global Crossing, Enron, or the other companies where shareholders DID lose money because of malfeasance.

I support JW and believe in what they stand for alone. That...No one is above the Law.

No one? Not even Judicial Watch? Because there's this certain matter of an IRS audit....

They had a fudiciary duty to disclose of certain information to the investors.

Very obvious that the only thing you've read about this has been Larry's press releases. And we've already proved Larry lies in his press releases.

Whether they are judges, the President or V. President of the U.S., bankers, and congressmembers, still I believe that noone is above the law! Guess that makes me a sucker, huh?

I take it you do believe that Judicial Watch should immediately comply with the IRS audit then, since NO ONE - not even Judicial Watch - is above the law?

Nope, the suckers are those who fail to do nothing about the cabal of white collar crime taking place in our government offices and leadership.

Suckers might also be those who continue to believe every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Larry Klayman.

Suckers might be those who continue to send him money to "fight corruption" even though less than 20% of the money he receives goes for legal expenses and he so far hasn't won any of the many cases he's filed (except maybe the one against his mother?)

By the way, when you send money to Larry, does he give you a financial statement so that you can see what you've gotten for your investment? Or does he just send a letter asking for even more money?

Silly woman. You're holding Larry up to a higher level of accountability than FreeRepublic itself.

You're correct. He was probably just "using" us FReepers to help build his empire!

I've been thinking Fred, that these folks that are so rabid are primed to be AF'rs. They throw mud and make baseless accusations as if they are professional. Want to bet some end up going over to the "dark side"?
