Shell reserves fraud discovery documents published on Sunday 25 November 2007
The first item, Exhibit 186, is email correspondence on 3 January 2004 from Frank Coopman, Chief Financial Officer, Shell Exploration and Production B.V. to Curtis Frasier of Shell International, which was copied to John Darley, SIEP-EPT. This was sent just 6 days before the Shell reserves fraud was announced to a stunned world. Frank Coopman made it plain that the “independent” Group reserves auditor, Anton Barendregt (*a retired former Shell employee who acted as the Group reserves Auditor on a part-time basis) was in fact “not completely independent”.
The following day, Anton Barendregt sent an email to Frank Coopman, copied to John Pay, John Darley and John Bell, admitting that with hindsight he should have been more “forceful” in respect of a correct formulation of Group guidelines in relation to avoiding conflict with SEC rules. Barendregt stated in his penultimate paragraph:
“I realise that Curtis may not like my references to the guidelines. I seem to remember him saying that we should not say externally that our internal guidelines were different from the SEC’s. I do not see how we can maintain that pose in ernest. It would imply saying that either our guidelines were SEC compliant (which would be easily refutable lie) or that we had no guidelines at all, which would be unbelievable and also clearly not true.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
