37.  Halliburton to pull out of Iran
Several American firms have been able to legally work in the country in the face of a US trade embargo, through foreign subsidiaries.

Halliburton, once run by US vice president Dick Cheney, said its Cayman Island unit secured revenues of $30m-$40m (£16-£21m) from Iran in 2003.

It said it was winding down its work due to a poor business environment.

Isn't Bobby Fischer being extradited for breaking the same rules by playing chess for money (earnings) in Iran?
