Disclaimer to make the following comments perfectly transparent: I work for Vitol and saw that this entry contains an inaccurate reference to the company. I am referring to the following sentence.

"When the 2012 United Kingdom cash for access scandal broke, he was named as one of the private guests of the United Kingdom's Prime Minister, David Cameron, at a dinner in November 2011. This was controversial as Vitol was later offered help from the UK Government to set up an oil supply deal with Libyan rebels."

The connection to the UK government was made erroneously. However, the facts are already correctly described under Vitol’s Wikipedia entry, and sourced by a report of the Financial Times, 5 September 2011 (please see below).

Also, the sentence quoted above contains a link to Peter Cruddas’s entry.

I would therefore suggest replacing the sentence by the one below.

"In a 2012 controversy, he was named as one as one of the private guests of the United Kingdom's Prime Minister, David Cameron, at a dinner in November 2011."

I am happy to edit myself, but wanted to be as transparent as possible and post these comments here first.
