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.”

Here I go....again.
I'm speaking out against the Koch Brothers' nefarious ways they will do business with our "enemies" and yet those two brothers are OUR "enemies"...to us, the working middle class and to this nation overall!
Their "plan" is to make money and destroy the America we all THINK we have and are fighting for.
How else are they going to get the uneducated future cheap labor force they will need to work for pennies per hour for their corporations?

Koch Industries--in addition to being involved in improper payments to win business in Africa, India and the Middle East--has sold millions of dollars of petrochemical equipment to Iran, a country the U.S. identifies as a sponsor of global terrorism.

There isn't a dustpan in the world big enough to catch all the dirt slipping from underneath the rug the Koch brothers stand upon. Where are the people that uphold and enforce the law? They have harmed people, subjugated the supreme court, damaged the political system, betrayed the country and have helped to doom the world....and for what? To enrich themselves and to have their way over all others? They are in soooo much desperate need to face justice and go to jail.

Brian Ross is good! These Koch Suckers are as dirty as they come. They are as unpatriotic as IBM, Henry Ford and the Rockefellers who dealt with Nazi Germany. It's all about money and power.

That is why they are putting so much pressure on Holder. It's just another attempt by Issa to stop the DOJ from investigating their rich benefactors.

Do you think they're just acting out a little drama for our sake over that Fast and Furious? I said that because Issa refused to investigate Rupert Murdoch when requested to do so.Justice is always slow to bring cases. I hope you are wrong about Holder.

Issa is just like every other GOP pol, creating diversion away from their do-nothing rein on Congress. Their favoritism is blatant and nauseating and they never fail to prove who they truly answer to. I don't hold out too much hope for Holder.

I do not believe in taking the money away from all wealthy people but perhaps the Koch brothers should not have theirs. If a person cannot act responsibly with something they should not be allowed to have it, right?
