Default Daimler to Settle With US on Bribes

Chrysler whistle-blower's tip brings U.S. charges of global bribery by Daimler

http://www.freep.com/article/2010032...ery-by-Daimler

"The Justice Department said today that all told, Daimler’s bribes generated at least $50 million in pretax profits.
At the time of its 1997 purchase of Chrysler, Daimler had 200 accounts used for bribes around the world. By 2004, it had winnowed such accounts to 40, but the Justice complaint says the company only eliminated the practice after the launch of probes by U.S. officials."




further reaffirmation that we were dealing with scoundrels...

I think the answer to that question is - Bob Eaton.

He's still counting his money at his home in a Florida gated community.
