ABC News caught David Koch leaving his Park Avenue apartment this week, but the tea party billionaire quickly fled to his car, avoiding questions about a scandal involving his company’s trade with Iran. A recent report in Bloomberg Markets magazine revealed that Koch Industries had been caught paying bribes to win contracts, engaging in possibly-illegal trade with Iran, price fixing, and ignoring environmental regulations. The magazine also uncovered a Koch Industries document admitting that they had violated federal law. “It’s a document right there on the record, right out of the lips of Koch Industries,” Bloomberg Markets reporter David Evans told ABC News. “I think there are enough of these payments that I think any prosecutor would want to look further,” Columbia University Law School professor John Coffee explained. “The only issue that I think Koch has by way of defense is showing that these payments were never authorized, encouraged or ratified by the parent company, but were only done by the foreign subsidiary.” Watch this video from ABC’s Good Morning America, broadcast Oct. 7, 2011.

This is news? They're the Koch brothers; how else would they do business?
Are you now channeling Willie Green?
"It's not surprising, then, they [White Pennsylvanians] get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." ~ Comrade-in-Chief Barry Hussein 0bama
Ummm...Far more ethical and less treasonous than your Dem-Leftist icon and political necrophile, George Soros?

So two 'wrongs' must make a 'right' in your religion. I can see why domer hounds you on LP.
This story is; "Turned over rock, discovered poisonous snakes." So you are correct, this is less news and more the normal behavior of dangerously criminal scoundrels.
