Harken
Was that possible before the accounting rules changed in 1995?
It wasn't legal, but Bush Jr. was investigated by friends appointed by his father. The SEC didn't even interview the Harken board. Bush Jr. has since appointed his lawyer as ambasador to Saudi Arabia.

Harken's fake profits were several dozen times as large as the Whitewater land deal — though only about one-seventh the cost of the Whitewater investigation.
