this article is a great summary of what has happened and potentially will happen. Take note of when it was written and then look at the links I provide below



I am not sure if this "craigslist" is a trusted source or not but I found this quote to be quite telling on a brewing scandal that I have had the pleasure of following lately.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/pol/229297832.html


A former Halliburton employee said in a filing with the SEC in September that he mistakenly received e-mails from a company attorney seeking information on how to evade federal investigators. The former employee, David A. Smith, said emails intended for David R. Smith, a vice president with Halliburton's tax group, were seeking information "on how to explain away the source of the bribes paid to Nigerian officials."

Although the scandal has received minimal attention in the U.S. media, a federal official told a French newspaper that it is "probably the most significant file of corruption" known in Washington.



Let the words in RED hang out there for a moment


If you would like to know more about Davis A. Smith you can read his Journal here:
