[Robert A Cook PE]

Don't remember all the details, but BUSH was ASKED to sell by this buyer: Busg DID NOT "dump stock" willie-nilly on a unsuspecting public.

He sold to a specific purchaser who wanted it at that price.

In other words, a buyer came looking to purchase stock (two months BEFORE this one-day drop in price) and Bush sold.

"but BUSH was ASKED to sell by this buyer"

I guess that's the so-called fact that many of us would like to see verified. Some of us accept that, some of us don't.

A statement to that effect by the buyer, along with WHY it was so important to buy that large block of Harken, would possibly put this to rest.

Until that happens, some of us with the more cynical nature will continue to mistrust that assertion.
