The company was all ready deep in the red when Bush signed on. He used

save the company not to steal the money. He used his connections at

Although, it probably means the same people that drove the business
into bankruptcy are about to get a significant raise.

You're trying to change the subject by dragging in old dirt. Harpin is still in

Bankruptcy != out of business.
In fact the whole point of Bankruptcy is usually to try and save the business
so it can keep running.

He didn't start that business, was recommended (told) to invest by the

Oxycontin is a regulated drug, which is what you advocate for all hard
drugs. It is a prescription drug that is very addicting. The addiction
forms from legal use.
