EcruFox Corporation

''Please note: This is the generic page for the EcruFox Corporation, a company which exists across several conworlds. Please see the EcruFox category for world-specific pages.''

The EcruFox Corporation (commonly EcruFox) is a multinational, multi-functional, megaconglomerate headquartered in the city of Los Angeles. The Corporation itself owns hundreds of other smaller and even large corporate entities, most recognizably the EcruFox Media Group. EcruFox, through its corporate members, is involved in defense, mining, recreation, entertainment, bioengineering, consumer goods, oil and gas, automobiles, banking, computer soft- and hardware, telecommunications, retail and real estate, among others. EcruFox, since 2010, is regarded as the most recognizable and influential trademark in the world, having then surpassed Coca-Cola. In 2013, for a third consecutive year, EcruFox kept the first place in the Fortune 500 Companies for gross revenue, having earned just over $600 billion during that year.

For its profitable position and global reaching influence, the Corporation has been the source of much controversy, ranging from world domination conspiracy theories to illegal campaign funding in the Western world. Several credible sources have also claimed over the years that EcruFox literally, though unofficially, owns certain small countries, mostly in Africa and South America. Left wing politicians, including socialists and American liberals have criticized EcruFox of exploiting cheap labor across the world and pursuing an unethical capitalist agenda. Despite this, however, since 2012, EcruFox is the world's largest commercial job creator, employing over 2.2 million people internationally, just short of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. EcruFox experienced its growth during a relatively small period of a decade, between 1998 and 2008, when it acquired numerous corporations, many of which were conglomerates within themselves. This sparked immediate controversy and has even led to many claiming EcruFox was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, in an attempt to acquire oil rights in the Middle East after a successful American invasion.

History
EcruFox was founded in 1980 in Chicago, Illinois by Hugo Ecruz and Robert Fox as a law firm, Ecruz Fox. Ecruz specialized in corporate law while Fox had a doctorate in maritime law. The firm won several high profile suits against the federal and state governments for allegedly "protectionist, illegal" trade import policies. Soon, the firm grew to one of Chicago's top law firms, and expanded to Los Angeles, New York, the District of Columbia, Canada and Europe.

In 1982, Ecruz Fox offered a 200% above value buyout deal to every law firm within the Chicago metropolitan area. Most accepted, giving Ecruz Fox virtually a monopoly on the legal profession in Chicago. In 1985 Ecruz Fox acquired Ernst & Whinney (now Ernst & Young), its largest accounting client. This officially made Ecruz Fox a multifunctional firm, and later that year, the legal arm of the company became known as EF & Associates Legal, and the conglomerate was renamed the EcruFox Corporation.

The Corporation's next major acquisition came in 1988 when it purchased E.F. Hutton & Co., a brokerage firm founded in 1904. The top executives of EcruFox, quite publicly, however, wanted the firm to become a household name, and in 1996, the Corporation bought the Turner Broadcasting System, outbidding Time Warner. In the same year, EcruFox established the Security Enforcement and Local Logistics (SELL) branch, which grew at an extremely fast pace to become one of the largest private military contractors in North America.

Its most significant event in history, however, was when Hugo Ecruz was killed in a fatal car accident in 1997. Ecruz by that time still having been relatively in his prime, did not leave a will and testament, creating a power vacuum for his majority share. Lob Charles, the current Chairman of the Board and then senior partner of the JP Morgan Charles investment banking firm, purchased Ecruz's $10 billion share and left JP Morgan (which paired with Chase Manhattan a year later to become JPMorgan Chase). Robert Fox shortly thereafter, citing his inability to work with Charles, put his 48% share on public trading and retired early. Starting in 1998, spearheaded by Charles, EcruFox (having it been decided to keep the name), took a gamble and acquired other corporate entities at a massive pace, buying almost any affordable profitable organization which was willing to sell in the major metros of the world.

In late 2001, after the New York terrorist attacks, several leaks emerged connecting rich Middle Eastern sheikhs and princes with ties to Al Qaeda to top executives within EcruFox. The massive oil deal EcruFox signed with the Western-backed government of Afghanistan in mid 2002 only added to the speculation. Subsequent to that and for the following five years, EcruFox became the largest foreign oil firm in the Middle East.
