Wonder if WFT did their due diligence on this guy. But then again maybe that’s what they needed.
SOP if the glove fits. How else do you expect to remove 7.5B to make this place solvent? Nothing new to this accounting department.
I read the entire. That’s not encouraging.
Some of article excerpts for the lazy. McCollum is a piece of work. WOW.
Halliburton’s general counsel circulated a note that “the SEC is investigating Mr. Menendez’s complaints” to the company’s chief financial officer, KPMG, other top executives and McCollum, the chief accounting officer. McCollum forwarded it to at least 15 of Menendez’s colleagues in accounting. As far as Halliburton was concerned, they had a traitor in their ranks.
Tucked into the files turned over by Halliburton was a draft of what was to be his 2005 performance review, dated September 28, 2006. It was written by Mark McCollum, Menendez’s boss. “This morning I met with Tony Menendez,” the memo began. What followed was a detailed and scathing review in which McCollum wrote that Menendez “had not met my expectations.” The meeting had never taken place! Under oath, McCollum admitted that he intended to deliver it to Menendez on his return, and had circulated it to the legal and human resources departments beforehand.
Turnip truck hahaha. He just joined a company full of them.
Sorry, look who now is at Weatherford as the CEO
