Koch: Toxic Kings (Part 2)

Corporate gossip

This is part two of a two part episode.

This week, Billy Koch turns into a corporate vigilante, as he takes the Department of Justice and the FBI on a private tour of the grounds where all the Koch corporate secrets are buried. We then tell the story of courtroom fight as dramatic as a Beverly Hills housewives reunion, with siblings rehashing decades-old conflicts and clawing at their share of billions of dollars. Then, Charles Koch continues his campaign to be voted “most-miserly” in the 2008 Billionaire Yearbook by funding an artificial-grassroots organization to promote his libertarian big business-first policies. Meanwhile, Bill Koch’s son Wyatt asks the Sharks to invest $100,000 for a 10% stake in his palm-beach-boroque men’s blouse line.
