Hallburton Tax Executive’s Guys Night Out Doesn’t Go So Well

Posted on by Caleb Newquist

Authorities in Texas took to the Internet to nab seven men accused of arranging to pay for sex in north Harris County during an undercover prostitution sting Thursday. One of the suspects is Joseph Francis Andolino, a 59-year-old senior vice president with Halliburton. An official with Halliburton confirmed that Andolino is an executive at the oil field services giant. "We expect our officers and employees to maintain high standards of professional and personal conduct, but we do not comment on personal matters," a statement from Halliburton said. The Harris County Sheriff's Office conducted the operation that was focused on people soliciting sex online, deputies said. Undercover deputies posed as female escorts online and arranged to meet the men at spots off Interstate 45 and F.M. 1960. Deputies said when the men arrived and agreed with undercover deputies on a price for sex, they were arrested. 

Hopefully this will be something that they can all laugh about later.

Ex-PwC Associate Sues NYU to Get His MBA Back

So waaaay back in the early to mid Aughts when Ayal Rosenthal was slumming over at 300 Madison, he got a little entrepreneurial (P. Dubs auditors don’t make shit, you know) with his Dad, two brothers and a host of others. They made a little bit of extra dough ($3.7 million) by running an insider trading scheme based on various tips, some of which were related to clients that Ayal worked on at PwC.

By the grace of God, the SEC caught on to the shenanigans and busted the gang in early 2007 (was this the reason they missed Madoff, Stanford?).


For this little stunt, NYU revoked AR’s MBA after the SEC brought the charges against him. He’s now suing the University because, “the university was ‘excessive and unfair,’ and that the proceedings violated his right to a ‘fair and timely hearing’ because NYU took nearly seven months before considering his case in September 2007.”

First of all, if an academic institution gets back to you in seven months, we’d say that’s a pretty decent response time. Second, “unfair” doesn’t work on anyone.

Having said that, we know full well how hard the young lad must have worked to get that MBA, so we’re not surprised that he wants the prestigious degree back.

If NYU really wanted an airtight reason for taking his degree they should have cited his inability to dupe the SEC for less than five years. Open and shut.
