Everything about Spectrum 7 totally explained
Spectrum 7 was an oil company started by
William DeWitt and
Mercer Reynolds.
In
1984, Spectrum 7 merged with
George W. Bush's
Arbusto Energy. After the merger, Bush became the Chairman and CEO of Spectrum 7.
In
1986, after reporting a net loss of $1.5 million the previous year, Spectrum 7 was purchased by
Harken Oil and Gas for $2.2 million, at the time one-third owned by noted investor
George Soros.
Years later Soros, who then, as now, was one of the world's most powerful financial market players, offered a reason why Harken bought the failing Spectrum7. According to
The Nation's Washington editor David Corn, who happened to run into Mr Soros at a party recently and asked him why Harken had bought Mr Bush's company.
» "I didn't know him," Corn quoted Mr Soros as saying in an article posted on
The Nation's website. "He was supposed to bring in the Gulf connection. But it didn't come to anything. We were buying political influence. That was it. He wasn't much of a businessman."
