Who's missing from this Bush Pioneer scandal list?
And I don't believe it's Ken Lay. They are all under investigation, indictment, or arrest, and there are supposed to be eight, but I've only found the seven.

As of August 11 the count was 6:

2. MEET NUMBER EIGHT: BRENT WILKES
Edited on Tue Sep-20-05 07:59 PM by Contrary1
"Brent Wilkes, Republican Fundraiser and Bush Pioneer, Has Home Raided By Federal Authorities In Corruption Probe. Agents from the FBI, IRS, and Defense department raided the home of ADCS Inc. Chief Executive Brent Wilkes in connection with an ongoing corruption investigation of a Republican Member of Congress. "Neither law enforcement officials nor the company would comment on the reason for the search. Wilkes is a former business associate of Mitchell J. Wade, the head of MZM Inc., a defense contractor under investigation by a San Diego grand jury. That inquiry was prompted by newspaper reports in June suggesting that Wade had done financial favors for Cunningham (R-CA)." According to FEC filings, Wilkes and his wife have donated $139,806 to politicians since 2001, not including the $100,000 Wilkes raised as an elite fundraising Pioneer for Bush in 2004.


ADSC Investigated By Defense Department Inspector General In Late 90's. "The Pentagon's inspector general previously investigated several ADCS contracts because of complaints 'alleging favoritism and inappropriate actions,' and he concluded in 1999 that they were awarded as the result of irregular procedures. Louis A. Kratz, an assistant deputy undersecretary of defense, said in a recent interview that he had requested the IG probe. Both Cunningham and Wilkes had called him seeking the release of funds for ADCS, he said. Kratz said he had never before experienced anything close to their 'meddling' and 'arrogance.' Wilkes 'implied that it was his money,' Kratz said, though the funding was earmarked for a program, not a company." "
