Blind Item #8 - Reader Blind

Various lawsuits by activists aimed at large oil companies always hit record request delays.  One reason for this is the continual fear that this company which had a different name and make-up many, many, many decades ago might come across written proof of what they did.  This flamboyant leader, who was A list in his day and the subject of an award- winning novel and an award winning movie based on the novel, had spoken openly about being targeted for death.  He was preparing for an eventual A+ run when he died.  In fact, the person killed at the scene was not the person who killed him.  One of his bodyguards was on the payroll of this company and had just been biding his time waiting for an opportunity which the paper trail of this expenditure  would establish.
