To Catch a Thief !

Halliburton Co. repaid $8.6 million to pension holders in 2003 and 2004 for failing to properly fund the plans
and for a bookkeeping error, according to a letter from the Labor Department. The Labor Department closed
its investigation into the pension violations after the payments were made.

"Because you have taken the corrective actions ... the Department will take no further action," Roger Hilburn,
regional director for the Labor Department said in the letter, which cited several potential legal violations by the company.
The Houston-based company said once the errors were discovered, it moved to cover the payments.

When the crooked president and VP are your partners, when you get caught stealing millions,
you just have to say, "My bad" and return some of the money and everything is cool as hell.
But if you're poor, and you get caught stealing a turkey for your family to eat, you do hard time. Goddamn Bastards!
