Who Did VECO Piss Off

Oil execs plead guilty in political kickback scandal

While corruption and collusion between oil executives doesn't come as a surprise to me seeing people held accountable for it does.

It also seems apparent that from the brewing scandal around Attorney General Alberto Gonzales that the Department of Justice likely doesn't investigate people the administration likes.

We also know that with Bush and Cheney, that this administration is incredibly linked to the oil industry.

This begs the question who did VECO piss off in order to actually have some accountability?
