David Richter, the president of Hill International (HIL), a mid-sized outfit that manages construction projects, was speaking last year at a private meeting with investors when he was asked about the recent success of his newest subsidiary, HillStone International.
 
How was it that HillStone, a newcomer in the business of home building, landed a massive and potentially lucrative contract to build 100,000 homes in war-torn Iraq?
 
Richter didn’t mince words. It really helps, he said, to have “the brother of the vice president as a partner,” according to a person who was present.
 
The “brother” Richter was referring to during the meeting is James Biden, the younger brother of Vice President Joe Biden.

Sheer coincidence that this company got the contract, the guy was only joking about Biden's brother. /DU mode

What was it they said about Halliburton? We can say that now.
