Jeb's buddy from MWI was dabbling in Nigeria as well.... let me look.... ah, here it is... and I saw enough of MWI's crap being bought by the state of Florida while I was there... it was CRIMINAL. NOT ONLY DO PEOPLE IN THIRD WORLD NATIONS SUFFER BECAUSE OF THE CORRUPTION THAT AMURKAN CORPORATIONS SPREAD, WE DO AS WELL.. AND THAT'S A FACT.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investi-gating a second bribery case involving Nigeria. Halliburton admitted that its employees paid a $2.4 million bribe to a Nigerian government official for the pur-pose of receiving favorable tax treat-ment. As the Houston Chronicle points out, “left unanswered is how a ‘low-level employee’ could channel that much money from the company to the pockets of a corrupt official.”

U.S. fraud suit targets ex-partner of Jeb Bush

Gov. Jeb Bush's former business partner in a venture to sell water pumps abroad defrauded the U.S. government of more than $74-million, federal authorities contend in a lawsuit.

The Justice Department alleges that MWI Corp. of Deerfield Beach, a water pump company whose equipment Bush marketed to foreign countries, fraudulently helped Nigeria obtain U.S. taxpayer-backed loans during his father's administration.

Much of the loan money went for secret payoffs to Nigerian officials and equipment that was vastly overpriced and unneeded, the lawsuit says.
