Illicit Money from Dubai

Here we go again. How do you over-invoice a contract? Normally any contracts would be checked before they are considered to be completed. That means a re-calculation based on effective data would be done to write the final invoice.

Chevron's financial people would certainly not allow a regional office to do any dirty deals without their knowledge. On top of which you have to be pretty clever to diguise any abnormalities from their internal revision department.

So what are we left with? Just another story which cannot be corroborated by anyone outside of the company. Usman, if there is an Usman, is most certainly not a Chevron employee.
