Former vice president Joe "It's a Big F***ing Deal" Biden's son Hunter, partnered with former mob boss and currently dead, Whitey Bulger's nephew and former secretary of state John "Hair Plugs" Kerry stepson, for his sweetheart business deal with Bank of China, according to Peter Schweizer in his latest book.
It's possible, Schweizer believes, that the reason Joe is so ready to placate China is because of Hunter's relationship with the $1.5 billion private equity investment between the bank and Hunter's company in a deal that was signed just weeks after Joe brought Hunter along on an "official trip" to China back in 2013.
Also in 2013, Hunter joined the U.S. Naval Reserve and was able to receive an age-related waiver since he was over the cut-off age of 42. As fortune would have it, he was also able to receive a waiver due to a past drug-related incident. He was granted a direct commission as a Naval ensign and served in public affairs in Norfolk, Virginia . In 2014 he was thrown out of the Navy for testing positive for cocaine but claimed he ingested it involuntarily. However, he declined to fight the discharge.
Hunter's brother, Beau, died of brain cancer May 30, 2015 and soon after Hunter, who was married at the time, had an affair with Beau's widow in 2016 until they broke it off the following year as Hunter moved on to "greener fields" to plow.
In terms of the $1.5 billion deal with Hunter's company, he partnered with the Thornton Group, and not the Billy Bob Thornton Group but the one headed by James [aka Jimmy] Bulger, son of MA state senator Billy Bulger. James was named after his now deceased uncle, James "Whitey" Bulger, a notorious mobster/murderer that put him on the FBI's Most Wanted list, and who was snuffed in prison.
Hunter also partnered with Chris Heinz, the son of ketchup queen Teresa Heinz Kerry, making him the stepson of John Kerry. Chris and Hunter control Rosemont Seneca Partners, a private equity firm that received billions of investment bucks from, you guessed it, China.
A representative for Heinz claims Chris' involvement in the deal has been "misreported." He says that neither he nor his firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, had any role in the deal. He says an unaffiliated second firm, Rosemont Seneca Bohai, is the firm doing business with Bank of China, and that Heinz is not involved. The representative also says the closest Heinz has come to being in China is a Chinese restaurant called Sum Ting Wong.
Schweizer's book, Secret Empires, should be required reading for people who want to better understand how political elites accumulate wealth by their political power.
