A Trafigura Scandal
Guardian Gagged from Reporting Parliament - Guy Fawkes' blog reports on an extraordinary turn of events, so extraordinary that Iain and others ask bloggers to highlight it.
I have kept away from Trafigua stories because many years ago I used to know a couple of the founders, and only last year enjoyed a drink with one. So my opinion is biased.
I had found a friend a job with them and was angling to give up my life of being drunk on the farm and joining the trading community. I even got to know one of their PAs well enough to give her a kitten, my intentions weren't just work orientated... And then one of the bastards shagged her on the board room table.
I dusted my hands of them and returned to a happy life of being drunk on the farm. Now this opprobrium has crashed around their billionaire lifestyles with model wives in gorgeous homes around the world I bet they are sorry...
I know I am.
