Handwritten Memos at Haliburton Discuss Bribing Nigerian Officials

An internal investigation at Haliburton discovered handwritten memos by Haliburton executives which discuss bribing Nigerian officials. The internal investigation was prompted by an SEC investigation into actual bribes which were paid by Haliburton contractor Jeffrey Tesler (an English Lawyer, whose entire use to Haliburton historically appears to be to act as the conduit for bribes to Nigerian officials).

(We talked about this before, with references to articles here .)

The internal investigation concluded that there was no evidence that the bribes were ever paid. Except, apparently, they were.
