The Bush family has quite a reputation for deal making and corruption.....but after reading the Wikipedia article on Neil Bush....even I was shocked!
1) Did you know that he co-founded a software company that was financed by Russian billionaire Boris_Berezovsky along with businessmen from Taiwan, Japan, Kuwait, the British Virgin Islands, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwaiti company head Mohammed Al Saddah, and Chinese computer executive Winston Wong ?
2) Did you know that Bush made at least $798,000 on three stock trades in a single day of a company where he had been employed as a consultant?
3) Did you know that Bush signed a consulting contract that paid $2 million dollars in stock over five years to work for Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp., a firm backed by Jiang Mianheng, the son of former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, plus $10,000 for every board meeting he attends.
4) Did you know that Bush serves as co-chairman of a company called Crest Investment. Crest pays him $60,000 a year to provide miscellaneous consulting services?
5) Did you know that Bush made a $642,500 commission for introducing an Asian investor to the owners of an American high-tech company?
6) Did you know that Bush's divorce deposition gained public attention when he admitted to several sexual encounters with high-priced escorts in Thailand and Hong Kong?
7) Did you know that as a Board Member of the failed Silverado S & L, Bush participated in one of the largest banking failures of all time costing tax payers over $1b?
What about brother Marvin?
He was a director of the Sterling, Virginia company Securacom, also known as Stratesec, from 1993 until fiscal year 2000. The Securacom/Stratesec company was publicly traded and backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corporation.
In 1996 Marvin Bush had 53,000 shares in the company's stock he bought at 52 cents a share. In 1997 the stock sold for $8.50 a share. Marvin Bush was no longer listed as a shareholder by the end of 2000.
The chairman of the board of Stratesec is Wirt Walker, a cousin of Marvin and George W. Bush. Stratasec had contracts to provide security for United Airlines, Dulles International Airport (the airport from which American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon, took off), .........and the World Trade Center in New York at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
