\nHalliburton Fires 2 Consultants<\/a> [washington post (key<\/a>)]<\/div>\n“This news is disappointing, ” said Wendy Hall, a Halliburton spokeswoman. “But it’s not representative of how Halliburton or KBR does business.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
right. so far the business model at halliburton seems to be overcharging clients like the us government. kickbacks and bribery seem to be more badder and so off-limits. there’s always the chance that the bribe could come to light, and overcharges can simply be attributed to clerical errors. i mean, even the client makes mistakes with counting<\/a>.<\/p>\n
it’s a rational approach – if you get busted for the overcharges, just pay whatever it takes to make it go away. if you don’t get busted, you keep the money. if you get busted with bribe money, that’s going to set off a few more alarm bells. it is, after all, a violation of the foreign corrupt practices act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
