His background into adulthood is rather unclear. If he is from a working class family originally, how does he go to NYU in the 1950's? Also, the explanation of him becoming a commodities trader, for his father seemed a bit unclear. This part and his escape from Belgium, clearly needs work... Stevenmitchell 16:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
How did he get out of Belgium in 1942? Bastie 21:51, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
Yes, Germany already occupied Belgium by 1942. How did they "emigrate" in 1942? 194.215.75.17

House Committee Presidential Pardons, Part 2 Government Reform and Oversight Washington, District of Columbia (United States) ID: 162914 - 2 - 03/01/2001 - 2:57 - $180.00
Libby, I. Lewis, Chief of Staff, White House Kadzik, Peter, Attorney Fink, Jim, Attorney
Attorneys testified about their involvement in obtaining a presidential pardon for financier Marc Rich.
clinton pardoned him? why? because the wife gave money?
Probably not. Had Rich not been pardoned it would have become apparent to the IRS/ex-pat tax people where he made money and how because he would have needed to reveal his earnings and pay tax on it. By pardoning him - his tax liabilities - activities in Russia, Iran, Irsrael etc. could stay hidden. Just another example of 'protection'. 58.174.224.4 ( talk) 04:28, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
Marc Rich did not found Glencore, and therefore it is incorrect to call it his heritage.
in 1993 Marc Rich sold the trading division of the "Marc Rich + Co Holding AG" to the Management (his former partners). They then created Glencore.
Wow, he raised a whole $135,000 for charity? Truly, one of the world's great givers.
The sentience stating two prominent professors opinion that no crime was committed gave the New York Times as a reference. While this is true, the reader is unaware that the author of the piece was Bill Clinton and not a New York Times reporter.
The reference to Scooter Libby acting as Rich's attorney is interesting, coincidental and politically apropos. Is this actually true? Without a reference, it should definitely be pulled.

The piece isn't clear on the disposition of the charges: Was there a trial? Was he convicted in absentia? What happened? 68.79.183.55 01:56, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
"He is scheduled to receive the same honor from Ben-Gurion University on November 18, 2007." So did he? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.82.93 ( talk) 19:52, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
the intro says Rich fled while being prosecuted, but later on the article says he was indicted while in Switzerland and never returned. These can't both be right. Anyway, the US doesn't hold trials in absentia so the second version sounds unlikely.
I am sorry. I removed this material and marked the edit summary as unsourced. Her is the citation [1] from this article [2]. It uses an unnamed source? I would leave this out per BLP? Any other takes? Thanks, Tom 00:16, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
There is a new biography out about Marc Rich: The King of Oil - The Secret Lives of Marc Rich (St. Martin's Press). The New York Times reports that Rich gave more than 30 hours of interviews to the author. Anybody read it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.247.7.127 ( talk) 22:25, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
It is hard to believe that Marc Rich created the spot oil market at any time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.180.182.155 ( talk) 15:36, 2 December 2009 (UTC) Oil has been traded since 1861, well before the 1970's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.180.182.155 ( talk) 15:28, 10 December 2009 (UTC) See Price of petroleum. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.180.182.155 ( talk) 15:45, 10 December 2009 (UTC) There has been some trading in oil since 1859. See www.anaga.ru The Forbes site speaks of 1968, not the 1970's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.147.114.85 ( talk) 12:13, 11 December 2009 (UTC) The theory that Marc created the spot oil market has now vanished. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.201.103 ( talk) 09:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
I changed the wording from 'created' to 'greatly expanded' to reflect the fact that the spot market has existed since the 19th century, but that Rich used it on an unprecedented large scale. American In Brazil ( talk) 15:09, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
No details of the imitations of Glencore are given. I want detail. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.201.103 ( talk) 09:45, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Now that he has passed on, it would be an improvement to have his photo. The New York Times and Washington Post obituaries had two photos each. Also, the ´Legacy´section is unclear as to which corporations were successors, or any other business information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by American In Brazil ( talk • contribs) 14:28, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
"In 1993, his yearly turnover on ex-Soviet territory ran to $ 3 billion, up half a billion over the year before. Only a tenth of this went to Russia and the other ex-Soviet republics." from 'Crime without Frontiers' (The worldwide expansion of organised crime and the Pax Mafiosa) by Claire Sterling, Warner Books 1995, page 257. Referenced to Commersant, March 16, 1993. 121.209.56.202 ( talk) 02:28, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
It says, "Federal investigators ultimately found no evidence of criminal activity."
The article should be more clear this is about whether granting the pardon itself is criminal.
It's undisputed that there was criminal tax evasion, since Rich's companies pled guilty in the underlying matter. [3]
Another source ( Bloomberg) notes that there were no charges for granting the pardon: "The FBI unexpectedly released 129 pages of documents related to an investigation closed without charges in 2005 into President Bill Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich, who had been married to a wealthy Democratic donor." Mattflaschen - Talk 02:06, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
This statement should be deleted "No evidence of criminal activity" is factually incorrect both in terms of tax evasion and breaching US sanctions on Iran, which would amount to a criminal not civil case. The reference sited:

The former minister of Justice of Switzerland published the following article in a popular weekly Suisse newspaper, "Weltwoche", in 2015
maintaining the US were about to hijack Rich.
Two involved US citizen were forced to leave Switzerland because of that, the German wikipedia states additionally, quoting this source which is partly behind a paywall.
