Marc Rich: controversial commodities trader and former fugitive dies aged 78

Rich – who founded international commodities conglomerate Glencore – was for a time one of America's most wanted men


Marc Rich, the billionaire trader and onetime fugitive who received a controversial pardon from Bill Clinton, has died aged 78 in Switzerland.

The trader died on Wednesday morning from a heart attack at his home in Lucerne, Switzerland. He will be buried in Israel.

Rich is credited with inventing the spot oil market and went on to found the international commodities conglomerate Glencore, earning a billion-dollar fortune in the process.

He was also on the FBI's most wanted list for almost two decades, after being indicted on charges described by the then US attorney for New York, Rudolph Giuliani, as "the biggest tax evasion case in United States history". According to the original 1983 indictment, Rich had bought millions of barrels of oil from Iran during the 1979-81 hostage crisis flouting a ban on "trading with the enemy". Along with his business partner, he was also accused of "classic criminal fraud" by avoiding £48m in taxes, as well as wire fraud and racketeering. Rich, who always maintained he had done nothing illegal, fled the US in 1983 to avoid the charges, although his companies later paid £200m in fines.

In 2001, by then living in a Swiss mansion bursting with fine art, Rich was pardoned by Clinton on his last day as US president. Clemency came even though White House intelligence files had flagged Rich as an alleged arms trader, suggesting he had supplied weapons and spare parts to the Iranian regime of Ayatollah Khomeini.

The outcry intensified as it emerged that Rich's ex-wife Denise had given $450,000 (then £314,000) to the Clinton Library and $1.2m in donations to Democratic party campaigns, including Hillary Clinton's bid for the Senate.

Rich always maintained that the Iranian trades were legal, because they were done through a Swiss company.

In a rare interview in 2007 Rich said he did his "most important and most profitable" trades by breaking international embargos and doing business with apartheid South Africa, an admission made to Swiss journalist Daniel Ammann, author of The King of Oil: the Secret Lives of Marc Rich.

"He had no regrets whatsoever," Ammann told the Guardian. "He used to say 'I deliver a service. People want to sell oil to me and other people wanted to buy oil from me. I am a businessman, not a politician.'"

"He went where others didn't go or didn't dare to go," said Amman. "He became rich because he was able to profit from boycotts. He profited from the embargos against Iran and South Africa."

Ammann, who described Rich as witty and charming in person, said he was a "once-in-a lifetime trader", who flourished by developing long-term relations with countries, such as Iran and Cuba, rather than on short-term speculation.

His business interests thrived across ideological faultlines. "He told me that he did business with the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Ayatollah regime knew he was going to sell it to Israel."

The oil trade with Israel became a lifeline for the young state after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, Ammann said.

"Marc Rich at one time in the mid 1970s was crucial to Israel's survival because after the Yom Kippur war they were cut off from the oil supply," said Ammann. "Israel really had to fight for their oil and they bought it from Marc Rich."

The Israeli state never forgot this his help. With a lobbying campaign underway to scratch him off America's most wanted list, the then Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, and former prime minister Shimon Peres made personal pleas to Clinton on his behalf to secure the controversial pardon.

Rich also financed Israeli intelligence service Mossad, funding non-military operations that helped Jews leave Yemen and Ethiopia during the 1970s and 80s. The Mossad connection would also prove useful, as Rich later had an ex-Mossad officer in charge of his security.
His life can read like a "James Bond spy story," said Ammann. Rich was nearly captured by US authorities at airports in Switzerland and Finland. "When I read about [whistleblower Edward] Snowden, I often thought of Marc Rich," he said.

Rich was born in Antwerp in 1934, but his family fled to the United States in 1941 to escape the Nazis. He went on to study at New York University, but dropped out and started working in the mail room of commodity trader Philipp Brothers in 1954. He would go on to turn the business into the world's largest trader of oil, grain and metals, before founding part of the company that is now Glencore Xstrata. Known as "the king of commodities", he broke the cartel of the major companies who controlled the oil business, and at one point in the 1980s controlled 40% of the aluminium market.

People who worked with Rich described him as secretive and this persona was embodied at Glencore, which for many years as a private company did not publish sales or earnings figures and had a one-page website that merely listed its address.

Rich sold his interest in the Marc Rich Group in 1993, when the company (renamed Glencore) was doing $30bn of business a year in 125 countries. This came one year after a record-breaking divorce settlement, when he paid out $365m to his ex-wife.

Ivan Glasenberg, chief executive of Glencore Xstrata, said the group was saddened to hear of the death of Marc. "He was a friend and one of the great pioneers of the commodities trading industry."

(Also known to reap enormous profits from food shortage/starvation in third world countries)

Despite Clinton's pardon, Rich never dared to return to his adopted country, fearing that American officials would pin another charge on him. He regretted his exile, said Ammann. "He loved America, he loved the way of life."

I dare say , in time , we''ll all learn more about Marc Rich and his connections/service to Israel, as we finally did with Robert Maxwell

.....

 

Guess we better go out and lower our flags to half mast to honor our nice Israeli financial guru's passing into oblibivion.

 

Only after screwing + draining as much as he could and no doubt serving the Zionsist Jewish state of Israel's interests along the way.

Why else would they honour him. ?

 

In a way, Marlow, we can't blame them for simply taking advantage of our gross negligence, stupidity and collective insanity.

In fact, I suspect even "nature's God" has helped them to punish us for our apostasy from the highest values we pretend to honor.

 

Perfect place for him.

 

Jews will be Jews will be Jews...

Can you explain why he like Robert Maxwell should especially be honoured with burial in Israel ?

Why are you being so defensive ? would you have objected / protested IF Marc Rich was not a JEW ?
..

 

^^^^^^Exactly

 

Ever notice that the Jew haters here usually also hate Liberals and any person not White. Now there are few exceptions, the new members defending their favorite Dictator in Syria but they would not have anything against Jews now would they.
This site slides more into the abiss daily.

 

HUH ?

sorry , you're not making sense . PLease take a deep breath and try to concentrate on the topic of this thread.

thx.

 

The Mental illness parade continues on the forum. Hating Jews seems to be a growing theme here.

 

Robert Maxwell aka Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch.

 

ESPECIALLY HONORED? He was buried in a quiet ceremony.


Tell me what did any of your family do to deserve to be buried where they are? Perhaps own a cemetery plot?

NEWSFLASH... Jews die and they are buried... deal with it.

Defensive? Why are you so smitten with attacking Jews with every post? Would you have made it a big deal if he were a Palestinian Scumbag, no, you would have twisted it to be a reason to again rail against Jews.

 

Must be like 109 other times in real life, it is 'everyone else's fault'.

Just not the Jews.

Reality...


On 10 November 1991, Maxwell’s funeral took place on the Mount of Olives Har Zeitim in Jerusalem, across from the Temple Mount. It had all the trappings of a state occasion, attended by the country’s government and opposition leaders. No fewer than six serving and former heads of the Israeli intelligence community listened as Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir eulogized: "He has done more for Israel than can today be said"

what fault? There is no fault. A man died, he had made arrangements to be buried in Israel as many Jews do. He was buried. To Jew haters it is a scandal. To average mentally stable people it is nothing. Marc Rich was a bad guy. So are many non-Jews. It had nothing to do with his Judaism and only a piece of garbage bigot with no sense of reality would think that it did. So think what you like.

 

But the actions and words of Jews in my lifetime are anything but mentally stable though.

They strike me as evil(if you want to use a more biblical term), or psychotic(if you want a more scientific term).

 

That has more to do with the fact that people like you view Jews through bigoted glasses.

 

Well for starters - according to a fairly well off Aunt with more money than sense (who employed someone to trace our family's Parish records . none of our ancestors were fraudsters /villains who didn't deserve a full Christian burial

According to her , some served as soldiers during British Mandate and buried in what was Palestine , murdered in cold blood by Jewish/ZioNazi terrorists -


...

 

I'm aware that Jews often change their names to hide /conceal their identity , but thanks I didn't know Robert Maxell's real name.

...

 

Yes.

More often than not, they try to pass themselves off as gentiles, with non Jew names.

Of course, when they do this (only crooks routinely do this), it becomes our fault that they did.

 

So as an unrepentant Anti-Semite and blatant Jew hater.. some idiot appointed you the arbiter of who is entitled to a Jewish Ceremony... Interesting

 

I wasn't asking for your opinion or if you care, I was speaking about you and your ilk, not to you.

 

Who takes first prize for the largest known financial fraud in U.S. history?

Yup.

Another random apple gone bad.

'Madoff was born on April 29, 1938 in Queens, New York City, New York. He is the son of Jewish parents Sylvia (née Muntner; December 1911 – December 1974), a homemaker, and Ralph Madoff (June 1910 – July 1972), a plumber and stockbroker'
