BASALT, Colo. — Federal agents with the FBI, IRS and Bureau of Land Management have served a search warrant at the offices of Crystal River Oil and Gas in Basalt.
IRS special agent Karen Gurgel said the action on Tuesday is part of a criminal investigation, but she did not elaborate.
Crystal River Oil and Gas operates 300 oil-and-gas producing wells in six states, with a focus on Texas and Oklahoma. It also has offices in California.
A local newspaper reports no one from the company could be reached for comment.
The Saudi King Abdullah must be freaking out at capitalism and has called on Obama to slow the process in the oil fields. The citizens of America is having their own government used against them.
They're are crooks and opportunists in every business. I want to see what the investigation digs up and if any other independents get hassled before flipping the panic button.
That's one of the most impossible to understand headlines I've ever read!!!
....so they raided the office with wells?
The bureaucracy: the new fourth branch of government. The bureaucracy is permanent, unaccountable, unelected and choking us like a weed. The bureaucrat exists, generating nothing of value, using perceived problems to justify his existence.
