Wow. ANOTHER sangasshole fail. This is fun to witness.
The CEO isn't said to have done anything criminal, except if you count the Nigerian government prosecutor's office, and that accusation was kinda the point of this thread, you retard.
Also, I have little doubt (or proof for that matter) that Halliburton paid the bribe in the first place, but I see no reason why (assuming they did) they wouldn't accept the chance to pay a very large increased fine (i.e., a second bribe?) to "settle" the matter. And if that gets Vice President Cheney off the unfair "hook," that's so much the better (and probably served as a big inducement to "settle").
Hurry back and add something even more ridiculous the next time, Sangha. Your fails are fun!
