4. Not only that
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 07:52 PM by ProudDad
But even the $600K that * put into the Rangers was handed to him in some rather shady deals...

* is set up by $17K from his "education" trust fund in Arbusto, a Micky Mouse "energy" company in Midland, TX (one of the butt holes of Texas). Arbusto heads for the toilet then...

Harken Energy buys Arbusto -- * gets more than $300,000 of Harken stock, options to buy more, and a consulting contract that paid him as much as $120,000 a year in the late '80s in exchange for Arbusto's $3.1M of DEBT.

*'s Harken stock becomes the collateral for the $600K buy in to the Rangers.


Typical rich-boy, scumbag, butt-f*cker deals. Most of the rich didn't work for it, they were born with it.

To add a baseball metaphor; This asshole thinks he hit a triple when he was actually born on third base.
