Money Laundering: I commend you on your article Shell Money Laundering for Saudi Arabia

As the NGO Global Witness pointed out earlier this year in relation to the OPL 245 corruption scandal, nobody should be above the law, even the mighty Royal Dutch Shell enterprise.

Global Witness and The Corner House have campaigned and exposed the corruption around the OPL 245 deal for several years. In 2011, Shell and Eni paid $1.1 billion to Malabu Oil and Gas, a front company secretly owned by a former Nigerian oil minister. Prosecutors have alleged that over US$500m went to “fronts for [former] President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria”. This crooked deal deprived Nigeria’s people of a sum worth 80% of its 2015 healthcare budget. Shell and Eni have always denied that they knew the money would go to Malabu, but documents seen by Global Witness show that the companies constructed the deal knowing that the money would flow ultimately to Etete’s company.

John Donovan: With regards to the matter raised by Jazmin Anderson, it may indeed be a scam - see FRAUD AND SCAM ALERT on the Shell.com website. It should be easy to verify whether any documents purported to be Shell documents are authentic or fake. If fake, then the scam should immediately be reported to the appropriate police authority.

FAO JAzmin: Sounds like a classic 419 scam to me !!

Jazmin Anderson: To Mr. John Donovan: Thank you, Mr. Donovan, for the kind attention. I will provide and email you the details of my husband's ordeal. I also tried to reach Shell Global Hotline but I am not sure if they even entertain such circumstance especially coming from an ordinary person like myself. I am grateful for this opportunity to obtain all the help, referral, and assistance I could get. Sincerely, I remain.

Jazmin Anderson: Hello All, I have read some of the blogs here from former employees of Shell and I would like to ask if you know someone by the name of “Patrick Blinks”. He is a Purchasing Officer / Contractor with Shell and currently has a project in the Gulf of Mexico (in a rig called “Taiwan Ocean”). My husband is the Project Manager and he and his workers have been there for five months now. The project is done. Although there were some issues with the pipes being damaged, my husband’s team were able to extract barrels of crude oil. Right now, the problem is, “Patrick Blinks” would like to get his workers paid BEFORE letting my husband and his team to leave. This is not possible at all since they don’t have any access to any bank. My husband asked Mr. Blinks to let him go to his bank so he could get some money out and Mr. Blinks don’t want to do that and does not even answer phone calls or emails. I have been searching for “Patrick Blinks” so I could speak to him either in person or by phone and to let my husband leave the Gulf for health reasons. If any one of you, by any chance, who knows this person or know someone who may be associated with him, please inform me right away. I have limited communication with my husband and I am helping them to get out of the Gulf. Moreso, since there was contract signed, Shell and its legal department cannot assist. Thank you all for your time and effort and with sincere gratitude for your help…

Trekkie: Role of a hapless Ann Pickard in OPL 245

Many people heaved a sigh of relief when she left Shell. She was the result of the positive discrimination process.

Hello Haters: FAO "the Real Shell" I'm not sure what you mean, my post was not an attack it was a factual statement about safety performance under Visser which Boumann got terribly wrong.

Relieved: As a soon to be Shell pensioner I too take my hat off to Paddy Briggs. Well done.

Conrad: Hello all, I am new to this site.. i have been following a company called Ossl on another forum , they were a contractor to shell E&P Ireland Limited on the Corrib project, I also remember the investigation re.. The Garda (Irish police) and alcohol supplied to them by Ossl on SHELL’s instructions … ( which found no alcohol— i can only think they drank it alll) Now that the Irish police force seems to been coming apart thread by thread over the past few months , surely a proper investigation would be required to get to the bottom of this whisky barrel of corruption and collusion .. I think its in the interest of the Irish people and to stop these large Multinationals puppeteering our Government… Ossl have never veered or indeed backed down from their allegations and one can only think that it happened .. there is also many other parts to the dismissal from the project ..including not changing a statement to GSOC to protect a Supt. Joe Gannon ..I think these guys need RTE slot to get the proper story heard … MAKE IRELAND GREAT AGAIN

Paddy Briggs: Thank you for the kind remarks friends. Much appreciated. Paddy
