Remember when this country used to give a shit about e-mails?
Exxon says it lost emails from Tillersons alias account
Exxon Mobil admitted in Manhattan Supreme Court Wednesday that it lost a years worth of emails from the alias account used by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson when he was the companys CEO. Tillerson whose middle name is Wayne and went by the alias Wayne Tracker in the sensitive emails to company board members is among those being investigated by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for allegedly deceiving investors about Exxons XOM, -0.07% scientific research on climate-change impact.
Exxon lawyers blamed the email loss on computer issues, but state senior enforcement counsel John Oleske called Exxons revelation a bombshell. Tillerson sent the emails between 2008 and 2015. Although Exxon lawyers admit initially being unable to recover the Wayne Tracker emails from September 5, 2014 to September 16, 2015, they claimed in a court filing that nine-months-worth of the lost emails have subsequently been recovered.
Judge Barry Ostrager ordered Exxon to deliver sworn statements and records from its staffers responsible for monitoring the Wayne Tracker emails, so state investigators could determine how they were lost.
He suggested both sides try to work out their differences about the missing emails, but also ordered the energy giant to comply by March 31 with Schneidermans 16-month old subpoena for records.
