Ray McDermott'& Co. Inc.,
pleaded no contest in February to
federal mail fraud, wire fraud and
conspiracy charges from the bid-rig
scheme.
“I hold this entire matter with
deep regret and I am filled with re
morse over it,” said Graves, who ar
rived in the courtroom unassisted.
When he entered his no contest
plea in February, Graves was
pushed into Mitchell’s courtroom in
a wheelchair.
Graves, who was one of the na
tion’s highest paid executives, re
signed his $369,000-a-year job with
McDermott for health reasons.
Mitchell suspended Grave’s
three-year sentence but ordered
him to serve five years probation.
He also fined Graves $103,000 on
the conspiracy count alone.
Tallichet, senior group vice pres
ident for Brown & Root Inc. of
Houston, was given a two-year sus-
pended sentence, three years prob
ation and a $25,000 fine on similar
charges. He also pleaded no con
gest, along with Hosea Ware Bailey,
a McDermott executive vice presi
dent who was accused of eight
counts of mail fraud and one count
of wire fraud.
Bailey was ordered to pay
$103,000 in fines and serve a five-
year probation. Mitchell also sus
pended Bailey’s 2 1/2 year sentence.
The men showed little emotion as
the sentences were issued. Bailey
only said, “Thank you, your honor.”
Th ree other executives of
McDermott and Brown & Root and
the two companies themselves also
were indicted by the federal grand
jury last December. The companies
pleaded no contest to the charges
and were given the maximum fine of
$1 million each by Judge Mitchell.
Peter Halle, a Justice Depart
ment lawyer from Washington who
spent two years investigating the
case, said the $1 million fines
marked the first time a maximum
penalty was handed down for
violations of the Sherman Antitrust
Act.
McDermott, which does an esti
mated $3 billion a year business, is
the world’s largest manufacturer of
offshore drilling equipment. The
firm’s stockholders voted last year to
join Bobcok & Wilcox Co. in a $750
million merger shortly after
McDermott was fined another $1
million for violating federal cam
paign finance laws.
