KipWellsFan Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/sto...sp?story=614229 Last month, ESSI shares hit a record $60.39 (£31.64) apiece more or less exactly the moment the presidential uncle chose to sell 8,438 options worth around $450,000, according to obligatory reports filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and disclosed by the Los Angeles Times yesterday. William Bush denies that his presence on the board has had anything to do with the company's success in boosting expected revenues to an estimated $1bn in 2005, in good part reflecting no-bid contracts relating to the war. While it's obvious that many people close to the administration are raking it in, is 450,000 really that much to these people? And is it really enough to make news? Why isn't there more about the Cheney family's profits? Or am I just not looking in the right places? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
