Halliburton staff sacked 'for taking bribes'

Halliburton, the oil services company formerly run by the US
vice-president, Dick Cheney, was yesterday embroiled in new
accusations of corruption after it sacked two workers over allegations
that they took kickbacks for awarding sub-contracts in Iraq.
The company disclosed that investigations were going on into whether
two of its staff took up to $6m (£3.3m) from a Kuwaiti-based company
providing support for US troops.


The company detected the irregularity with their own internal controls,
reported it promptly to the government, fired the employees involved,
and volunteered to repay the overcharge.

Your problem with that is...?

They didn't fix the problem before it happened.

BTW, if Halliburton discovered that two of their employees had taken $6m
in
kickbacks from a Kuwaiti supplier, why did they(Halliburton) make the
reimbursement to the feds instead of the fired crooks who got the money?

Yes.
