Reply #5: Silverado

[Warren Stupidity]

Neil Bush was a member of the board of directors of Denver-based Silverado Savings and Loan during the 1980s' larger Savings and Loan crisis. As his father was Vice President of the United States, Neil's role in Silverado's failure was a focal point of publicity. According to a piece in Salon Magazine, Silverado's collapse cost taxpayers $1 billion.<2>

The US Office of Thrift Supervision investigated the failure of Silverado and determined that Bush had engaged in numerous "breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest." Although Bush was not indicted on criminal charges, a civil action was brought against him and the other Silverado directors by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; it was eventually settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as part of the settlement, as reported in the Style section of the Washington Post <3>.

They are connecticut yankee gangsters, gangsters with a twist of lemon in their gin and tonic and a rent-a-cowboy costume for the peasants they con into voting for them.
