Halliburton reportedly agrees to pay Nigeria $250 million to drop bribery charges

[editec]

So the corrupt bastards in Nigeria got bribed twice.

Once on behalf of Haliburton tthey were bribed by Halibuerton to screw the Nigerian people.

And once again, using the Nigerian laws against bribery, tthey shake down Haliburton to get still more money

My guess is that Haliburton probably is paying the same people in BOTH cases.

A quarter of a billion dollars because it costs less than being "bothered". And right wingers call me "stupid". I love it.

No. We call you retarded and dishonest. There's a difference.

It isn't a quarter of a billion dollars to avoid being bothered. It's a quarter of a billion dollars to avoid being shut down and having corporate officers threatened with gross injustice and loss of liberty.

It is wrong to acquiesce to the thievery of the Government of Nigeria. But it can be more cost efficient and "safer," in some regards.

haliburton is a great representation of america's corporatism, pure evil. i can't wait for wikileaks to start dropping stuff on banks and other similar businesses next year. the fallout will be amazing to watch.

You have to realize that it's owner is a die hard con, so don't expect much declaration to ensue.

declaration to ensue??

WTF is shitnow babbling about this time?

Why are you defending a company you know nothing about? If Haliburton had their way, you will be penniless, naked and living out of a piano crate. At least now you have a trailer.

retardean. You don't know what I know about Halliburton. Ergo, as all can plainly see, you are talking out of your ass again. You do that a lot. You are, as your last post clearly re-establishes, retarded, after all.

And stop projecting. I don't have a trailer. Just because retarded losers like you cannot afford a house doesn't mean everyone is equally lame.

By the way, you'd have a slightly better chance of making a point about somebody else's alleged lack of knowledge about the company if YOU had the presence of mind to spell its name correctly.

You don't prove anything. Just talk out your ass. Blah blah blah.

So you don't have a trailer? The very least you could do is pay your sister some rent. She could be making money off that basement.

That was stupid even by your typically retarded standards. Right after I noted that you "are talking out of your ass again," you come RIGHT back with the inspired retort, "Just talk out your ass." You are limp, retardean. Seriously. You got no game, stupid.

Parrots are embarrassed for you.

It's interesting how we place Western values on non-Western countries. What we call corruption, they see as 'doing business'. Perhaps we should learn that not everyone sees things the way we do. Just an idea.

Yep applies to religion and punishments as well.
However should Americans lower their morals to do business in other countries?
