WFT paid 253M USD!? If you were in my situation, what would you do?
If the US government finds out about it, they don't punish only the guy who did it. If you don't believe me, just google Weatherford FCPA violations. Individuals did not pay the $253 million fine - Weatherford paid the $253 million.
Thank you for the explanation but Baker will not pay all these fines because one director did a deal with local company as, agency agreement against payment. All baker needs after investigation making actions as per policy. Who would expose this to media or to press? They wil treat it confidentially & in limited scale. For me I should raise such frauds to secure myself. I will not wait until BHI knows about the case & consider me breaking the law. If he would make any sort of retaliation I will report all his practices then.
Using influence for personal benefit is just normal business practice in MENA. Companies that don't pay don't play but are careful not to get caught. Individuals within companies making decisions for financial gain are also common. There are so many millions in contracts at stake that it is too much temptation. Even if it is only an individual, if caught, the company itself will be hammered at least if it is a US company or has major holdings in the US. Kuwait, in particular, is so open about corruption that some people brag about it. No secrets at all. So even if you report someone and the allegations are confirmed, you are still at risk yourself because of the broader risk you put the company in. BHI, for example, could have their international trade license revoked, multimillion dollar fine, etc. If any of that were to happen, at least one person in management will thank you for it but not in a good way. If you have reported this then you have my respect because there is nothing you can gain by it. Good luck.
Reporting such fraud is in progress. We just gathering the needed info to report the case. The problem that I've been pushed to participate in signing although I have nomonated better agent and distributor. In the fact I am concern that he make actions against me if he knew about the report.
If you have a concern and, more importantly, any proof to back it up, you should report that properly. Accusing someone of fraud without evidence, even on an "anonymous" website is illegal in a whole bunch of countries. In Saudi, it was incorporated into the treason law this year so that gets really bad, if caught. I have seen a lot of this kind of activity in my career in many countries in MENA where people use their influence to persuade management to pick one agency over another.
Emad, that's not a proper name.
Thanks BHI for supporting bribery and funding Terrori Non Gormental Organisation. Amerika is proud of you.
