"In 1988, U.S. Customs agents raided Echostar offices in Miami, Dallas, and Tempe, Ariz., and charged the company with illegally exporting set-top boxes. Ergen admitted lax supervision, settled the case by giving $800,000 worth of dishes to schools, and says he learned a lesson. But has he? Echostar still has a reputation for thumbing its nose at regulators; in April the FCC admonished the company for "disingenuous behavior and a lack of candor."Originally posted by Nick
