Bush's Uncle John caught in Saudi money laundering scheme

Here the Washington Post story: US Ready to Fine Riggs Bank

Strangely enough, I don't think they mention the Bush connection. But, Tony Pierce does: Jonathan Bush not only works for Riggs, he is President and CEO of Riggs Investment Management.

According to Pierce:

Uncle Jonathan works for Riggs Investment Management, a "major" arm of Riggs Bank, who was fined Thursday for a record $25 million for violating anti-money laundering laws when it failed to report millions of dollars of cash withdrawls from Saudi accounts.

1. Gee, Whoda Thunk A Bush Would Be Connected to Money Laundering

2. even the big media ignores Jonathan Bush and Riggs

Even the business press keeps him and his bank and the Saudi connection well out of sight. Obviously, FOX/CNN, etc, will, but for the business press to be so quiet is unusual.

3. Riggs Bank/Jonathan Bush recently hauled over the coals on DU

Wasn't Riggs one of the banks that got busted over Enron???

Edit:

Maybe the withdrawls from Saudi accounts are bankrolling Junior's 2004 campaign ...."Republicans Abroad"

4. shh, nothing to see here

The financial & sexual antics of Jonathan Bush, Neil & Marvin Bush are nothing compared to Billy "Beer" Carter or Roger Clinton.

This will be brushed under the rug while any relatives of John Kerry are probably being followed by Tribune Co, NY Post & Fox reporters on a full time basis.
