George H. W. Bush set up Zapata Oil, an oil exploration business which never achieved much profitability in the usual financial sense, but which appears to have been used an effective front company for a variety of covert operations, including spying and money laundering. Bush was never prosecuted for its illegal operations.[3] Its records with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission were "lost" shortly after Bush became Vice President of the United States.
