Officials admit taking loans from Texas stock fraud case figure
Assistant Attorney General Will R. Wilson acknowledged receiving 230000 dollars in unsecured loans from Frank W. Sharp, a central figure in a SEC described system of looting. Wilson said the latest 30000 dollar loan was in August 1970 and repaid in March this year, tying his financial rise to land deals and a growing law practice rather than Sharp. Rep. Henry Gonzalez criticized the explanation as insufficient amid calls for Wilson’s resignation.
