Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time and effort. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, pls have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers: do the right thing, the honest thing, support independent investigative journalism. Note added 28/06/2021: impostors are using INFODIO's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui at gmail.com) to send copyright infringement claims / take down requests to web hosting companies. The attempt is yet another effort paid by corrupt thugs to erase information about their criminal activities. Infodio.com has no issues with other websites / journalists using / posting information published here, so long as the source is properly cited. Note added 12/06/2026: infodio.com has not created mirror websites / domains and remains totally independent and unrelated to others. Beware of websites using our brand.
Continuing with the question of whether David Boies and Boies Schiller Flexner LLP (BSF) complied with FCPA, in the contract (Engagement Letter) with PDVSA that underpinned the formation of PDVSA US Litigation Trust, I should comment on another aspect of it: possible conflicts and waivers.
That Conoco lawsuit against PDVSA US Litigation Trust must have a lot of folks quite nervous. There are inaccuracies in particulars of claim, like the ultimate parent of Algamex in Isle of Man, or who exactly is behind the Trust.
Great news this AM: ConocoPhillips has sued PDVSA US Litigation Trust in New York. Only through this sort of litigation in the US can Venezuelans peek into the gargantuan corruption in PDVSA.
Remember that beautiful sailing boat owned by Bill Duker? It's called Sybaris.
