1. FRAUD? What did I miss? n/t

[tbyg52]

2. Interesting. Any way to get more details? nt

[tbyg52]

3. Wrong birth date. (For *, I mean.) nt

[Flabbergasted]

6. Uh, have you missed all the lies Bush has been telling.

:evilgrin:

[tbyg52]

7. I see your point. ;-> nt

8. 6 July 1946

could have been changed to protect the guilty. Needs checking.

[peace frog]

13. December 7

marks the anniversary of Japan's 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. Could have some significance to the Bush family - Poppy served in WWII, for instance. Yes, this bears further checking.

16. He and pickles BOTH changed their driver license numbers when he became TX gov

The cited "protecting" their privacy, blah, blah, blah, didn't wanna have a governor's DL # in public records. Never mind that the State of TX never felt this was a problem for previous governors and their spouses.

What came to light later?? His drunken driving arrest and her accident as a teenager that killed her ex-boyfriend.


I wouldn't put anything past either of them.

4. Wasn't there something to do with selling security bonds or stocks or something?

Disposition Date: 05/01/1987

5. There was some stock

Harken? Arbusto? One of those companies where Daddy got him a job....

Anyway, sold just before the company went bust, and some paperwork not done correctly, but I don't think he ever got nailed for it.

The George W on this report is not * - wrong birth date. I didn't realize there were so many George W. Bushes in the world. I feel sorry for the other ones.

9. That's why I posted the disposition date. It didn't look right but it's still fun to bust his B****!

:P

10. Harkin, Spectrum 7 and Aloha

Those are the company names I remember. I think Greg Palast did some digging on Aloha.

Here's an excerpt from a Nation article about the stock dealings.

Bush purchased stock in Harken three times between 1986 and 1989, and was several months late in reporting those transactions to the SEC, according to documents from the agency. One transaction, in which Bush purchased 25,000 shares of Harken stock on June 16, 1989, took place three days before Harken started selling its shares on the New York Stock Exchange, where the stock traded as high as $50. The stock had previously been sold in the over-the-counter market. Bush did not report the transaction to the SEC until September 7, 1989, more than four weeks after the deadline, according to SEC documents, and he reaped a windfall in profits by purchasing the additional shares before they were sold on the NYSE.

On November 1, 1986, Bush acquired 212,152 shares of Harken as a result of the merger of his failing oil company--Spectrum 7--with Harken, but did not report the transaction with the SEC until April 7, 1987, more than twelve weeks after the deadline. On December 10, 1986, Bush purchased another 80,000 shares in Harken and again missed the deadline for reporting the transaction by eight weeks, according to SEC documents. Dan Bartlett, the White House communications director, was unable to answer why President Bush missed the deadline in reporting his stock transactions with the SEC on three other occasions, but said that the SEC obviously did not see the violation as an important matter either. "The SEC didn't do anything about it," Bartlett said. "It does not appear to be an important issue."

15. Harken

Chimpy sold the stock shortly before the price tanked but failed to file the required SEC letter until about a year later. That was his second warning for a similar offence and, if memory serves, the company accountant had specifically warned the board that it would be illegal to sell their stock at that time.

Molly Ivins covers it in Bushwhacked (can't find my copy right now).

14. Insider trading -

Documents Show Bush Violated SEC Insider Trading Law Four Times, Not Once. His Lawyer Ran The SEC Investigation On Late Harken Report And His Father's Gave The SEC Clearance Of Wrongdoing During Bush Presidency.

11. That's a close enough match for the state of Florida... ( n/t )

17. Now *that's* a good point!

By Repub logic, * is responsible for all those namesakes!
