Jackson Stephens: Stephens Group
built 614 days ago
A partner with Stephens in the Worthen bank was Mochtar Riady, one of the principals in the Indonesian Lippo Group. The Lippo Group was heavily involved in the campaign financing scandals of the second Clinton presidential campaign, with links to the Chinese military.
The Rose law firm was the house law firm of Jackson Stephens’ Stephens Group investment bank in Little Rock. To be the corporate law firm of the Stephens Group was no casual affair. It implied a deep trust relationship and perhaps more. As one crony of Jackson Stephens put it at that time, ‘Jackson Stephens? He’s the man who owns Arkansas.’
Amidst such strange bedfellows, perhaps it should not be so surprising that Stephens had been a life-long top Republican. He was a major contributor to George Bush and part of "Team 100", a Republican group where membership required a $100,000 donation to Bush's election campaign. His second wife, Mary Anne, was the 1988 co-chairman of the Bush for President drive.[25]
A tangled web of relations links the Stephens Group and Delta & Pine Land of Scott, Mississippi with another satellite in the agribusiness orbit of the influential Stephens Group. The Stephens Group is ... linked intimately with Arkansas-based Tyson Foods, the US’ largest agribusiness processor of industrialized chicken meat, and arguably one of its most unsanitary ones.
