Prince Neil Bush Strikes Again

http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/04/11/con04520.html


Once upon a time, Prince Neil Bush and his business partners from the JNB oil company, caused the collapse of the Silverado Savings & Loan by ripping off $200 million. When all was said and done, a bill totaling $1.3 billion was left for taxpayers to pay.

Because Neil's father George was the Vice-King of the Kingdom he was able to conceal the news of Silverado's collapse, and its cost to taxpayers, until after he became a full-fledged King in the1988 election.

The only thing that Neil seemed to learn from the whole Silverado-JNB fiasco was that taxpayers were easy prey. Being that the scam worked so well the first time around, he decided to give it another shot with a new oil company, Apex Energy.

When Neil bailed out of JNB, leaving his partners with all the debt, I doubt that he told them that he had already been scheming with a new fairy-godfather to form Apex. In true Bush style, Neil wasn’t willing to risk much dough. “He invested $3,000 of his own money and got $2.3 million from two companies run by his father's friend Louis Marx,” according to the Dec 28, 2003 Washington Post.

How Much Loot Did Neil Take Us For?

Well, lets see. Less than 4 years after we were socked with the $1.3 billion from Silverado, we were handed another $2.2 million bill for Apex. Neil made off with about $320,000, and to the best of my knowledge, he never even saw the inside of a police station, much less a jail cell. Eat your heart out Martha Stewart.
