The Koch Bros are everything that is wrong with corp. America and American conservativism.

That was a nice hatchet job.

Ohhhhh. Bad, bad people. Wanting to keep their PRIVATE financial affairs "secret". Why should they tell you or anyone else ANYTHING?

Let me know when you start disclosing YOUR financial affairs to the public.

News of this article got leaked over the weekend.............I think Bloomberg Markets moved up its release. The article wasn't supposed to come out until November.

It's hatchet job don't you know? These republicans have not ever met a corporation they didn't love, no matter how ruthlessness and greed are put above the law and safety of people.

Two days before Christmas 1999, the jury delivered the verdict: Koch Industries had made 24,587 false claims in buying oil, underpaying the U.S. government for royalties on Native American land from 1985 to 1989.

“I will tell you Koch Industries is definitely responsible for the death of Danielle Smalley,” Bill Caffey, an executive vice president of the company, testified in a 1999 deposition during Smalley’s lawsuit.
Danny Smalley hired Ziegler, a third-generation oilman and certified safety professional, as an expert witness. Ziegler had previously been retained by Koch Industries as an expert witness in an unrelated case. Ziegler told the jury that he’d never seen a company disregard safety to this extent in his more than 25- year career.
