Twin Brother

The Senate held hearings in May 1989 after Bill Koch, David Koch’s twin brother, told a U.S. Senate special committee on investigations that Koch Industries was stealing oil on American Indian reservations, cheating the federal government of royalties.

Bill Koch had a long-standing feud with his brothers after his failed attempt to take over the company in the early 1980s. He sold his shares in June 1983 and later lost a lawsuit claiming he’d been shortchanged.

The Senate committee sent investigators to Oklahoma to secretly observe oil companies, including Koch, buying crude on Indian land. The federal agents hid in ditches, crouched behind scrub cedars and ducked behind cows to avoid detection by Koch Oil’s purchasers, FBI agent Richard Elroy testified to the committee in May 1989.

‘Theft is Widespread’

The investigators caught Koch Oil’s employees falsifying records so that the company would get more crude than it paid for, shortchanging Indian families, Elroy said. Koch’s records showed that the company took 1.95 million barrels of oil it didn’t pay for from 1986 to 1988, according to data compiled by the Senate.

“The theft is widespread and pervasive, and these people are being horribly victimized,” Elroy testified.

Yeah -- seems like a messy brottherly revenge thingy.. 3rd brother has been suing them for years.. Lost his fortune on lawyers and most of the cases he brought against them.. For instance.. Accusing his bro's of hiding documents in that "indian oil" case...

Koch v. Koch Industries

�55. The Court finds that Plaintiffs have failed to establish that KII, through its employees, engaged in conduct intended to thwart discovery of relevant evidence through the purposeful destruction of evidence.� Nevertheless, KII's uncoordinated approach to document retention, especially documents potentially relevant to litigation, denied Plaintiffs potential evidence to establish the facts in dispute in this case.

�56. Missing Evidence

a. Northern Division Documents--Plaintiffs have failed to carry their burden of proof to establish that specific documents relevant to this litigation, containing information which is otherwise unavailable, were destroyed in KII's Northern Division.

Also that investigation into "stealing" the Indian oil.... Dropped by a Grand Jury in Oklahoma in 1992.. No indictments...

What else is bugging you bunky?????

Too much money in politics has been a problem for a long time, but it would be disingenous to pretend that only the Republicans are responsible. George Soros and the other billionaires propping up the Democrats are just as disgusting as the Koch brothers in my opinion.

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. Koch paid the U.S. $25 million to settle the case in 2001

Nope... Your expectation of risk free life is what we're enjoying here. That when shit happens -- it's always some evil-do'er. In the case of the teens, it's a wrongful death. THere should be compensation.. Did it ever occur to you that there GOVT INSPECTORS getting paid to find leaks as well?

PG&E blows up an ENTIRE CITY NEIGHBORHOOD on the San Fran peninsula WITH THE HELP of armies of State Inspectors who also were asleep at their jobs. Who's the evil-do'er?

Your simplistic view of this event is what's comical. Especially because your outrage in this case is just damned convienient..

And I bet you're against Nuclear Power because of how many folks it's killed in America...
