Search google for rockcreekcorp, and you’ll see an email addresses or two for rockcreekcorp.com, such as “Ayham Khleif,” a “Business Executive” from Washington DC who it appears has even signed an Israel Divestment petition. It’s unclear to me whether this Rock Creek Corp is the same one named in this 1977 litigation (related to one William J Sherry, previously owner of Sherry Petroleum). If so, and I’ve found no evidence that it’s the same thing, then it seems like it was a small-time domestic oil company that morphed into an international private equity firm with Saudi, oil, and even CIA relations during the past 20 or 30 years. There even seems to be a connection to a member of the Bush clan, GW Bush’s youngest brother Marvin (who [also] seems like a bit of a drifter), via a razor-thin relationship to one Elias Aburdeen, now seemingly “president” of Rock Creek, according to this UK Court Case. CIA, oil, Sauds, and Marvin Bush? It looks like Rock Creek is quite a club. Disclaimer: These are the results of a few minutes of superficial googling, and the quality of the information should be discounted extremely heavily. Let’s just call it mental entertainment. There’s absolutely no way to suggest these random tidbits amount to anything serious whatsoever, nor that Rock Creek is anything more than a bunch of ambitious people who happen to move in the same social and political circles as everyone else in Washington DC, and who want nothing more than to make a buck off Arabia and/or oil. Someone with better information sources would need to weigh in first.
