His background into adulthood is rather unclear. If he is from a working class family originally, how does he go to NYU in the 1950's? Also, the explanation of him becoming a commodities trader, for his father seemed a bit unclear. This part and his escape from Belgium, clearly needs work...

[edit] buy a pardon

clinton pardoned him? why? because the wife gave money?

[edit] Glencore

Marc Rich did not found Glencore, and therefore it is incorrect to call it his heritage.

in 1993 Marc Rich sold the trading division of the "Marc Rich + Co Holding AG" to the Management (his former partners). They then created Glencore.

Wow, he raised a whole $135,000 for charity? Truly, one of the world's great givers.

[edit] Pardon reference

The sentience stating two prominent professors opinion that no crime was committed gave the New York Times as a reference. While this is true, the reader is unaware that the author of the piece was Bill Clinton and not a New York Times reporter.

[edit] Scooter Libby

The reference to Scooter Libby acting as Rich's attorney is interesting, coincidental and politically apropos. Is this actually true? Without a reference, it should definitely be pulled.
