Koch Brothers Made Illegal Sales To Iran

October 5, 2011 | ISSUE 47•40

Bloomberg News reported Monday that billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch illegally used German and Italian subsidiaries to sell oil equipment to Iran, a nation classified by the U.S. as a sponsor of global terrorism. What do you think?

What are you, some kind of Pollyanna who never ran a hustle through a foreign subsidiary before?

Well, you don't get where the Kochs are by being nice. They make Stainmaster carpet. Know how they test the stain resistance?
