Origin
Carpathian Global was started by Conrad Sutler - relative of Vincent Sutler - and several others. Since its creation, several groups and fund families have joined the firm in an attempt to "obtain slices of the multi-billion dollar pie." As the largest corporation and equity firm in existence, Carpathian prides itself on its unwavering ability to meet and surpass previous revenue quotas on a regular basis. Carpathian Global, however, tends to draw some controversy due to its massive geo-political reach and influence over politicians around the world.
The current CEO and Chairman is Dr. Vincent Sutler, the second generation grandson of Conrad Sutler - one of the founders of Carpathian Global.

Controversy
Several controversies have surrounded Carpathian Global since its creation in 1910. The first being alleged investments in German banks during World War II. A post-war investigation proved that the Sutler family had held investments in German banks controlled before Hitler's ascension by Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. The Sutler family denied the accusations but eventually state that the investigations findings were true. Immediately after this realization, Carpathian Global funded a well-known leftist organization for a number of years before ceasing funding.
During the Cold War, Carpathian Global was investigated for Eastern Bloc sympathies. Again the holding families denied the accusations. Investigations showed that there was no proof behind the accusations before the Sutler family had a gag order placed on the entirety of the investigative team and accused witnesses. Since 1970 the investigation has been at a stand still.
More recently Carpathian Global has been holding merger negotiations with TriPetal - and accused pro-Syndicalist corporation. Sutler stated that talks have been underway, but that they are currently at a stand-still until violence in Kinshasa ceases. It is unclear whether merger negotiations have progressed into possible compromises of revenue quotas and corporation status.
