I think that would explain why no criminal charges have been brought against Gibson. They didn’t do anything wrong. I just watched this segment on FOX. I didn’t know that USFW had “raided” Gibson TWICE.
The first involved Madagascar ebony. Gibson really doesn't want you to talk about that one, because they might have to talk about the emails from Gibson employee Gene Nix, who spent 2-1/2 weeks on the ground in Madgascar in June 2008 and reported that all legal exports were prohibited, or the internal Gibson reports seized by the government. Nix even toured the 'factory' of Roger Thunam, who had been convicted of lumber trafficking, and reported that Thunam's lumber was under seizure by the Malagasy government. Later, Gibson bought from Thunam through a German company called Theodor Nagel Gmbh. The feds were alerted that Nagel was importing illegal wood. Nagel's imports led to Gibson.
