And top corporate donor for 9/11 goes to ExxonMoble

There is still good that comes out of some.
Hi Zimzum...SO how do YOU feel toward Exxon or Coke? Do you watch what they do or just accept that they follow the law?

I said there are SOME good corporations exxon or coke are not...my beef is with the top 100 corporate crooks...you can name this good business and that good business but that is not the issue and it does not justify what the real crooks are doing..

I'm suppose to feel better about exxon because they donated the most money during 9/11? I don't follow that type of reasoning sorry.

Exxon Corporation and Exxon Shipping
Type of Crime: Environmental
Criminal Fine: $125 million

Exxon Corporation and Exxon Shipping pled guilty to federal criminal charges in connection with the March 24, 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill.


The company was assessed a $125 million criminal fine.
Attorney General Dick Thornburgh called the fine "the largest single environmental criminal recovery ever enacted."
The companies pled guilty to misdemeanor violations of federal environmental laws.
Approximately 11 million gallons of crude oil spilled from the Valdez, fouling 700 miles of Alaska shoreline, killing birds and fish, and destroying the way of life of thousands of Native Americans.

ANOTHER: Exxon Corporation pled guilty to federal charges in connection with a spill last year of 567,000 gallons of home heating oil into Arthur Kill, a narrow waterway which separates New York from New Jersey. Exxon entered the plea as part of a $15 million settlement with local, state and federal governments.

Exxon was fined $200,000 the maximum allowed by law, but paid an additional $4.8 million in restitution as part of a $15 million package global settlement.



They just plead guilty and pay the fines they can afford to do it over and over again raping the earth and paying the fines..


This was interesting..


The mock trial of ExxonMobil, held at the University of Texas in Dallas, found the company guilty of crimes against humanity for its oil production and exploration in the developing world, including the African nations of Chad and Cameroon.
