Since he stepped down as British prime minister, the West's Mideast envoy Tony Blair pocketed more than $30 million in oil revenues from secret dealings with a South Korean oil consortium, UI Energy Corporation. Despite his best efforts to keep his connection to UI secret, word is spreading like wildfire. Blair has tried to prevent disclosures of his relationship with the South Korean oil firm. His relationship with UI Energy may precede his departure as prime minister. It is also quite conceivable that his dedication to keeping this matter confidential was meant to protect other international political figures. Other prominent politicians on UI Energy's payroll include former Australian prime minister Bob Hawke, Congressman Stephen Solarz, former defense secretary Frank Carlucci, and US Mideast Commander General John Abizaid. These are only some of those who acknowledge association with UI Energy.
