	Koch Industries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Koch companies are involved in core industries such as commodities trading, petroleum, chemicals, energy, fiber, intermediates and polymers, minerals, fertilizers, pulp and paper, chemical technology equipment, ranching, securities and finance, as well as in other ventures and investments.
		Koch Industries denied the allegations, but the cases were settled in January 2000 for $35 million in fines.
		Koch pled guilty to one count of concealing evidence, which they had self-reported in 1996, and the criminal charges against the employees were dropped.

	Politics of Oil - The Center for Public Integrity
		Koch Industries (pronounced "coke") is a huge oil conglomerate controlled by brothers Charles and David Koch, two of the country's richest men and among the biggest backers of conservative and libertarian causes.
		The Kochs were also sued by their own brother several years ago in a case where the company was accused of stealing millions of barrels of oil from federal and Native American lands.
		Bill Koch, best known for bankrolling a yacht racing team that won the 1992 America's Cup, and another plaintiff filed the suit under the False Claims Act, which allows private plaintiffs to sue on behalf of the government companies and individuals that are defrauding it.

	Koch Industries - SourceWatch
		Its owners, brothers Charles and David H. Koch, are leading contributors to the Koch Family Foundations, which supports a network of conservative organizations and think tanks, including Citizens for a Sound Economy, the libertarian Cato Institute, Reason Magazine, the Manhattan Institute, the Heartland Institute, and the Democratic Leadership Council.
		Koch was started in 1927 by Fred Koch, a charter member of the John Birch Society, with an oil delivery business in Texas.
		Alex Beehler, assistant deputy under secretary of defense for Environment, Safety and Occupational Health, previously served at Koch as director of environmental and regulatory affairs and concurrently served at the Charles G. Koch Foundation as vice president for environmental projects.

	Koch v. Koch Industries
		Koch Industries, Inc., another defendant, is essentially the company founded by the father of the four brothers, Fred Koch.
		As the remaining claims concern Koch Industries' "Pine Bend" refinery and the manner in which certain items were disclosed in the financial records of Koch Industries, the evidence in this case has, not surprisingly, primarily concerned Koch Industries' refinery business and the accounting treatment of the challenged items.
		Assuming, arguendo, that the psychiatrist's statements to David Koch are not privileged and subject to exclusion on that basis alone, the proponent of such testimony must clear the additional hurdle of demonstrating the admissibility of the psychiatrist's statements as non-hearsay or as falling within a recognized hearsay exception.

	98-6209a -- TOSCO Corporation v. Koch Industries, Inc. -- 05/26/2000
		Koch's arguments concerning the lack of a nexus between any disposal activity conducted by Koch and the costs Tosco has incurred, and the application of the petroleum exclusion to wastes Koch discharged at the Refinery, are equally meritless.
		Koch claims the district court erred because "[t]he unrefuted evidence establishes that no claim for statutory nuisance exists." Koch further argues Tosco's nuisance claim is barred under Oklahoma's two-year statute of limitations, and Tosco did not suffer a "special injury," as required to maintain an action for public nuisance.
		Koch claims it was unfairly prejudiced by the introduction of this sampling data because it was unable to conduct additional discovery prior to trial.

	CorpWatch : USA: Koch Industries Indicted for Air, Hazardous Waste Violations
		Koch spokesman Jay Rosser said the Justice Department is "unjustly charging" the company and its "hardworking employees" who discovered an issue with a "new complex regulatory requirement" and took steps to correct it.
		Koch was required to comply with the federal benzene standards by April 1993, but Koch Petroleum Group applied for and received a compliance waiver until January 1995.
		The indictment alleges that in 1995, Koch Industries and Koch Petroleum were informed by an employee that the Corpus Christi refinery had at least 91 metric tons of uncontrolled benzene in its liquid waste streams, some 15 times greater than the facility's permitted six metric ton limit.
