Whose palm did this company fail to grease?

"Nice company you got here. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it."

Remember what happened to Gibson.

Gene Nix of Gibson was on the ground in Madagascar and emailed back that there was no legal source of Madagascar ebony. Gibson chose to buy its Ebony from Roger Thunam, a convicted lumber trafficker. Nix knew that Thunam's ebony was under seizure by the Malagasy government.

Gibson's hands weren't clean in that transaction.
