A just-published bombshell article in the November issue of Bloomberg Markets magazine implicates Koch Industries, the company controlled by Republican mega-donors Charles and David Koch, in dozens of criminal acts around the globe over the past three decades.
According the report, company officials have been caught paying bribes to win contracts, trading with Iran in violation of the U.S. embargo, price-fixing, neglecting safety and ignoring environmental regulations.
The billionaire brothers are major donors to FreedomWorks, the Cato Institute, and dozens of other conservative think-tanks and nonprofits. They have also been tied to several independent expenditure groups supporting Republican candidates across the country — and last year The New Yorker exposed the family's efforts to oppose President Barack Obama.

Did they work for the Nazis? Or even worse, did they kill any birds while drilling for oil?
the democrats have been after the koch brothers for a long time.
More Dem propaganda to destroy Reps. George Soros is the one who needs to be investigated. The Koch brothers are mere pikers compared to the political clout exercised by Soros who is bankrolling all kinds of Dem organizations and whose “Secretary of State” project is intended to pave the way for widespread voter fraud.
Wow, just wow. So after Obamas Cap-and-Trade fraud didn’t pass the smell test, Exelon and First Energy (who were supposed to be big beneficaries) have recieved the majority of the DOE’s recent spending. Does anyone else see this as a much bugger problem than the trumped up charges on the Koch Brothers?
” GOP Mega-donor Koch brother’s company” At least that portion of their ill gotten gains went to good causes.
Funny — another commie DemoRAT effort to take your eye off of how Obama is going to be funded and by whom.
I heard they shot a puppy.
Don’t several countries still have warrents out for the arrest of George Soros?
I heard they shot a puppy.
Just one? :)
And How many countries did Soros’s deeds out and out financially ruin?
My concern is proportionate to the immediacy of the threat to me, personally.
Would you be concerned if you found out that the Koch Brothers kept a portion of their wealth in secret bank accounts overseas? (or for that matter, thousands of rich people?)
Consider the source. I don’t see any proof behind the allegations, which are pretty serious. Looks like the old “throw as much crap against the wall and see what stickes” method.
[ I heard they shot a puppy. ]
I heard they killed thousands of poor little puppies, wait that was PeTA......

I thought I read that if he enters one country they would kill him on sight. I wish I could be more specific but I can’t recall the country. If anyone knows more, please share. Oh, it must be nice being such a well loved “philanthropist”/s.
Oh, is that all.
There you have the whole story.

He’s Persona Non Grata in Croatia and other Balkan countries, yeah, he would get shot if found here.
Isn’t it funny how the left can only seem to find these brothers as “meg donors” to the “party of the rich”?
I’ll tell ya what- when Bloomberg starts turning their “truth detector” (hahahahahaha) on the many, MANY, billionaire donors to the demonRATs, I might listen. Start with Soros.
What a crock.
