Tight. Very tight. Their bodyguards have special police badges allowing them to carry concealed weapons in all 50 states.

One reporter called Lee Fang once managed to interview one of the brothers.

They tried to ruin his life.

At the congressional swearing in ceremony for the Tea Party wave, I saw David Koch leaving the building and got a short interview. Every other political interview Koch ever gave was carefully screened. This one wasn't.

This interview apparently angered him.

Shortly after they hired private investigators & operatives and I got harassed for over a year. An old high school media account got hacked, they hosted a website calling me a liar, edited my Wiki, a Koch blogger smeared me almost every day.
