Alaska's Corrupt
Bastards Club

The name "Corrupt Bastards Club" has been widely used to designate Alaska legislators implicated in a massive federal corruption investigation.

A federal investigation of Alaska's fisheries industry involving Senator Ted Stevens and his son Ben is expected to snag many high-profile fisheries executives and their cronies in Alaska and Seattle.

Congressman Don Young has racked up over $1.1 million in legal bills - and he hasn't even been arrested - yet.


Scorecard

So far the massive FBI-IRS investigation has snagged two of the state's three members of Congress, one of their aides the ex-president of the state Senate , four state legislators, two lobbyists, two VECO executives and their families, and most recently, the former chief of staff of corrupt ex-governor Frank Murkowski.


If you have any question as to where there FBI investigations are heading, listen to this.
