#1 The United Nations probe into oil-for-food corruption is being seriously hampered by a web of ghost firms set up around the world to cover the tracks of bribes to Saddam Hussein as he cheated the $60 billion program, a top investigator said.

This probably explains why Goo-fi doesn't seem overly concerned about probe findings. With luck on his side, the trail will go cold or it'll become impossible to uncover the links that would really put the heat on his slimy little ass.

#3 And we are not talking Casper the Friendly Ghost firms either.
