NY Post: "Wherever Joe Biden went, son Hunter cashed in"

Article here. The article notes that Hunter Biden landed a $50,000 per month board position with Burisma, the largest gas company in Ukraine, after his father, Joe Biden, was being regularly sent to the Ukraine. Similarly:
      Hunter once ran a hedge fund with his dad’s brother, James Biden, and associated with a notorious Ponzi schemer. James would go on to snag a job as executive vice president of a construction company in 2010, despite having virtually no experience in the field. And only a few months into his tenure, the company would win one of its biggest contracts in its history, a $1.5 billion deal to build affordable homes in Iraq.

      By pure happenstance, Joe was also the Obama administration’s point man in Iraq at the time. Funny how these things work out.
The article forgets the Joe/Hunter team's work in China:
In 2013, then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Less than two weeks later, Hunter Biden’s firm inked a $1 billion private equity deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China. The deal was later expanded to $1.5 billion. In short, the Chinese government funded a business that it co-owned along with the son of a sitting vice president.
