Running with A Bad Crowd: Neil Bush & the $1 billion Silverado debacle
(8 of 8)
The house is in Sharon Bush's name, which is not unusual. But also in her name are a series of personal loans from Denver's well-heeled Fred Vierra, president of United Artists Entertainment, a cable-TV company. The loans totaled $125,000 over the past 16 months. No one is alleging that there is anything improper about this borrowing, but it strengthens the suspicion that despite his painful ordeal, Neil Bush has not learned his Silverado lessons well enough. He seems insensitive to his role as a member of the nation's First Family -- and too willing to rely on financial backers attracted by his father's fame rather than by any business acumen of his own.
