Isosiyete ikomeye mu by’imiyoboro ya pipeline, AJ Perri, yaciwe amande y’amadolari 100.000 — menshi cyane yigeze gucibwa na Komisiyo ishinzwe imiyoboro ya New Jersey — kandi yemera guhindura imikorere yayo y’ubucuruzi bw’uburiganya hakurikijwe itegeko ryatanzwe n’ibiro by’umushinjacyaha mukuru wa leta.
Amasezerano yarangiye mu cyumweru gishize nyuma y’uko iperereza ryakozwe na Bamboozled rigaragaje ko isosiyete ikora akazi gahenze cyane katari ngombwa, igashishikariza abakozi kugurisha akazi kandi igakoresha amayeri yo gutera ubwoba abakiriya, harimo no kubeshya ko ibikoresho byabo bishobora guturika igihe icyo ari cyo cyose.
Bamboozled yaganiriye n'abakiriya benshi, ndetse n'abakozi ba AJ Perri bariho ubu n'abahoze ari abakozi, bavuganye ku bikorwa byo guhohotera abantu bishingiye ku miterere y'ubucuruzi bushingiye kuri komisiyo ndetse n'igitutu cyo kugera ku ntego zo kugurisha.
Nyuma y’iperereza, akanama k’abavomyi ba leta katangiye iperereza ryako, amaherezo byaje kuvamo ibirego by’abantu 30, bamwe muri bo bakaba baragaragaye mu iperereza ry’ikosa ryakozwe.
Dukurikije itegeko ry’ubwumvikane hagati y’inama y’ubutegetsi n’umunyamigabane muto Michael Perry, umufundi w’amazi wemewe AJ Perri, isosiyete “yakoresheje uburiganya n’uburiganya inshuro nyinshi” mu buryo bunyuranyije n’Itegeko ry’Iyubahirizwa ry’Amategeko rya Leta.
Itegeko rivuga ko AJ Perri yananiwe no kubika amashusho y’ibikorwa no kwandika ibyavuye mu bushakashatsi bwe binyuranyije n’uburenganzira bwa leta bw’uyu muyoboro w’amazi.
Isosiyete yemeye ko nta cyaha cyakozwe mu masezerano y’ubwumvikane, kandi yemeye kwishyura $75.000 ako kanya. Amande asigaye y’amadolari $25.000 niyo yagenewe AJ Perri kubera kubahiriza amasezerano.
Umushinjacyaha Mukuru Christopher Porrino yavuze ko abatekinisiye ba AJ Perri “bakoresheje amayeri akomeye kandi y’uburiganya kugira ngo bahatire abaguzi, benshi muri bo bakaba bari abageze mu za bukuru, kwishyura amafaranga yo gusana imiyoboro y’amazi atari ngombwa cyangwa arenze cyane ayo bari bakeneye n’amafaranga ya serivisi.”
“Iyi myanzuro ntabwo ishyiraho ibihano bikomeye ku bantu ku makosa akomeye yakozwe na AJ Perri, ahubwo inasaba ko isosiyete ikora impinduka zikomeye ku igenzura n’imicungire y’abatekinisiye bayo kugira ngo abaguzi babone ubwisanzure n’iyubahirizwa rya AJ Perri, nk’uko amategeko yombi abiteganya. Mube inyangamugayo.”
Perezida wa AJ Perri, Kevin Perry, yavuze ko isosiyete yashimiye inama y'ubutegetsi ku “bushakashatsi bwimbitse” bakoze.
Mu itangazo ryanditse Perry yandikiye Bamboozled yagize ati: “Nubwo tutemeranya n’ibyavuye mu nama y’ubutegetsi kandi tugahakana byimazeyo ko ubucuruzi bwacu buteza imbere, bushyigikira cyangwa bushishikariza imyitwarire iyo ari yo yose inyuranye n’inyungu z’abakiriya bacu, twishimiye ko inama y’ubutegetsi yemera ko iki kibazo gikwiye gusozwa kandi twembi dushobora kubikora inyuma yacu.”
Urubanza rwatangiye ubwo umukozi AJ Perri yamuregaga kuri Bamboozled. Umukozi wasangije ubutumwa n'amafoto y'imbere avuga ko ikigo cyagurishije imiyoboro y'amazi mabi ku madolari 11,500 kuri Carl Bell w'imyaka 86 mu gihe hari hakenewe gusana aho hantu.
Iyi nkuru yatumye abakiriya benshi binubira Bamboozled, harimo n'umuryango w'umusaza w'imyaka 85 urwaye indwara ya Alzheimer. Umuryango wavuze ko wasabye AJ Perry kureka kuvugana na se, ariko guhamagara byarakomeje maze se yemera akazi k'amadolari 8.000, umuhungu we avuga ko adakeneye.
Undi muguzi yavuze ko ba sekuru na ba nyirakuru, bombi bari mu kigero cy'imyaka 90, batinye kwemera akazi k'amadolari 18.000 kazabasaba gukuraho hasi mu cyumba cyabo cyo munsi y'ubutaka no gucukura ubutaka bufite uburebure bwa metero ebyiri n'igice kugira ngo basimbuze umuyoboro w'icyuma washenywe. Umuryango wabajije impamvu ikigo cyasimbuje umuyoboro wose atari igice cyabonetsemo gusa.
Abandi bavuze ko babwiwe ko ibikoresho byabo bishyushya bisohora monoxide ya karubone yangiza, kandi igitekerezo cya kabiri cyagaragaje ko ibyo atari byo.
Imeri y'imbere yerekeye gusimbuza umuyoboro wa Carl Baer, yatanzwe kuri Bamboozled n'abakozi ba AJ Perri.
Umwe yagaragaje irushanwa ryo "kuba umuyobozi", undi agira inama abakozi kwibanda ku guhamagara abakozi buri munsi kugira ngo "babone ibibazo byinshi bishoboka kuri sisitemu yo gushyushya cyangwa gukonjesha, bahe abatekinisiye uburenganzira bwo kubona abacuruza ibikoresho byo gushyushya no gukonjesha mu ngo zabo ku giciro cya sisitemu nshya," uyu mukozi yavuze.
Undi mukozi yagize ati: “Bahemba abagurisha cyane bonus, ingendo zo muri Megizike, amafunguro, nibindi.” “Ntibahemba abatagurisha cyangwa ngo babwire abantu ko nta kibazo.”
Komite y’imiyoboro yatangiye isuzuma ryayo itumira aba bakoresha n’abandi gutanga ubuhamya imbere ya komite.
Inama y’ubutegetsi yasangije ibyavuye mu masezerano, harimo n’ibirego byinshi by’uko isosiyete yavuze nabi uko imiyoboro y’amazi ihagaze mu “kugerageza kugurisha ibikorwa byo gusana bihenze cyane.” Ibindi birego bivuga ko “isosiyete yakoresheje ‘igitutu’ cyangwa ‘amayeri yo gutera ubwoba’ kugira ngo igurishe ibikorwa byo gusana bihenze cyane cyangwa bitari ngombwa.”
Ubwo Komisiyo yavuganaga n'abahagarariye sosiyete ifite ibirego byihariye ku baguzi, yamenye ko videwo y'imiyoboro myinshi y'amazi n'amazi y'abakiriya yari yarafashwe amajwi kugira ngo igenzurwe na leta, ariko nta mafoto yemeza akazi kasabwe. Mu bindi bihe, akazi kasabwe n'inzobere mu gufata amashusho batari abavomyi b'amazi, kandi nta mabwiriza yari afite yo kwemeza niba ayo mabwiriza cyangwa amashusho yararebwe n'umuvomyi wemewe.
Umushinjacyaha Mukuru Pollino yavuze ko mbere y’uko amasezerano atangira, AJ Perri, abisabwe n’inama y’ubutegetsi, yatanze indishyi zose cyangwa igice cyazo ku baguzi barebwa n’ikibazo. Itegeko ryo kwemera rivuga ko abakiriya 24 bareze leta basubijwe amafaranga yose cyangwa igice cyayo. Abandi ntibahaye AJ Perri amafaranga.
Pollino yagize ati: “Turashimira Bamboozled kuba yaragaragaje ibi kandi tugashishikariza abaguzi gutanga ikirego kuri AJ Perri. Amakuru batanze kuri iyi shami yadufashije gufata ingamba zikwiye zo guhagarika ubu bucuruzi bw’uburiganya no kurinda abaguzi, cyane cyane abageze mu zabukuru batishoboye, ingaruka nk’izo mu gihe kizaza.”
Uretse amande n'ibihano, amasezerano atanga uburinzi bw'ingenzi ku burenganzira bw'abakiriya ba AJ Perri bashobora kuba abakiriya.
Kamera zose zo kugenzura imiyoboro y'amazi yanduye cyangwa imiyoboro y'amazi zizagumaho imyaka ine kandi zizagezwa kuri leta nyuma yo kwakira ibirego.
AJ Perri agomba gutanga uburyo bwo kohereza mu nyandiko, atari mu magambo gusa, kandi abaguzi bagomba gusinya iyo fomu.
Akazi kose gasabwa n'umukozi wa Perri (umufundi udafite uruhushya) kagomba kwemezwa n'umufundi wemewe mbere yuko akazi gatangira. Inyandiko zitangwa n'abafundi bemewe nazo zigomba kuba zanditse.
Iyo leta ikiriye ikirego mu gihe kiri imbere, isosiyete yiyemeza gutanga igisubizo cyanditse ku bakiriya na leta mu minsi 30. Itegeko ryo kwemera risobanura uburyo ibirego bigomba gukemurwa, harimo no gukemura ibibazo by’abaguzi, niba abakiriya batanyuzwe n’igisubizo cy’isosiyete. Byongeye kandi, ibyaha bizakorwa ku bageze mu za bukuru bizahazahazwa n’amande y’amadolari 10.000 buri umwe.
“Nishimiye ko. Nishimiye ko leta ibigiramo uruhare kandi ko bafite amategeko n'amabwiriza mashya AJ Perry agomba gukurikiza,” ibi byavuzwe na Bell, nyir'inzu watangije iperereza. “Nibura abantu ubu bafite uburenganzira bwo guhinduka.”
Igitangaje ni uko nk'uko Baer abivuga, akomeje kwakira amahamagara aturutse ku bigo, nk'abakora akazi ko gutunganya itanura rye.
Yagize ati: “Gutekereza ko umuntu abyifuza kandi ashobora kubikoresha kubera imyaka ye ni icyaha gihanwa n’amategeko.”
Richard Gomułka, uvuga ko AJ Perri yamubwiye ko amabati ye asohora monoxide ya karubone iteje akaga, yashimye ayo masezerano.
Yagize ati: “Nizeye ko ibi bizahagarika andi masosiyete gukora ibi n’abandi bakiriya mu gihe kizaza. Ndicuza kuba nta muntu wigeze ajya muri gereza kubera uburiganya.”
