Controversies
Arbusto Energy involvement
Spectrum 7, an oil company started by DeWitt and his business partner Mercer Reynolds, effectively rescued George W. Bush's failing Arbusto Energy in 1984 by merging with it.
Election rigging
Considered, along with his business partner Mercer Reynolds, to be "Rove's bosses" in Jim March and Jill Simpson's election theft diagram. Reynolds and DeWitt were key financiers of Jeff Averbeck's GOP-aligned technology firm SmarTech, which is identified as a central base of operations in the electronic rigging of elections that is alleged to be supervised by Rove.
