W. "Bill" White: In 1978,
White graduated from Harvard's business
school with an MBA. He is introduced to a
Houston-based businessman, Jim Bath who had
become the North American business representative
of Salem bin Laden, brother of Osama, and
Khalid bin Mahfouz, a member of the most powerful
banking family in Saudi Arabia. White is hired
to run his real estate company, which is used
to invest the two Saudis' money in various
ventures in Texas including George W. Bush's
oil company, Arbusto. When White has a falling
out with Bath in 1986, Bath launches 28 lawsuits
against White to drive him into financial
ruin. The lawsuits disappear when the BCCI
scandal breaks in the late '80s.
White talks about his personal knowledge of
the relationship between the Bush family and
the Bin Ladens.
