Mary Jacoby and Glenn Simpson. This thread'll seem kind of weird, but just go with it, because I'm not 100% on it myself.
Glenn Simpson created SNS Global, which he worked at for a year or two before moving onto Fusion GPS.

Glenn Simpson is married to Mary Jacoby.

Glenn Simpson (listed as Glenn Jacoby) is on a list of bankruptcy records, with relatives including Mary B. Jacoby, Abigail L. Simpson and Susannah S. Jacoby.

Suggestions here that Glenn has other relatives, including Caroline A. Jacoby, Elizabeth J. Jacoby, Jameen Wesson Jacoby, John E. M. Jacoby and Susannah Swenton Jacoby (full name of Susannah).

Also suggestions of living in Washington and Arkansas.

Mary B. Jacoby, Jon E. M. Jacoby, Elizabeth B. Jacoby and Susannah S. Jacoby are all connected to Jacoby Enterprises, Inc., which has existed since 1986 (although, as far as I can tell, it no longer exists as of 2015).

C/O The Stephens Group in Arkansas.

Jon Jacoby's LinkedIn profile suggests that he is the former Vice Chairman of The Stephens Grup, and the CEO of Jacoby Enterprises, Inc., although as I said, I'm fairly certain Jacoby Enterprises is gone, which would make this is a defunct profile.

Bloomberg also lists Jon E. M. Jacoby as Senior Managing Director and Vice Chairman of The Stephens Group LLC, working with W. R. Stephens, Jr., Elizabeth Stephens Campbell, Robert L. Schulte and Ronald M. Clark.

bloomberg.com/research/stock…
This is The Stephens Group, which lists James O. Jacoby, Jr. as the Managing Director. As expected, W. R. Stephens, Jr. is the CEO, Elizabeth S. Cambpell is the Co-Chairman, et cetera. No mention of John E. M. Jacoby, but presumably same family.

The Stephens Group was founded in 1933 by W.R. Stephens as Stephens Inc., then eventually made the switch to the name The Stephens Group LLC in 2006.

In August 1993, it was revealed that one of Bill Clinton's classmates at Georgetown University was Prince Turki bin Feisal, head of the Saudi Arabian intelligence service, and they stayed in touch.

While Clinton worked as Governor of Arkansas, he worked to secure a multi-million dollar Saudi donation for a program at the University of Arkansas, with discussions starting in 1989... discussions featuring Stephens Group, Inc..

The Stephens Group was again called upon in the run-up to Bill Clinton's re-election as Governor of Arkansas, as he was concerned that he would not win the campaign and needed some assistance fundraising.

nytimes.com/1992/02/05/us/…
Hillary Clinton has also represented The Stephens Group in litigation, and she has also represented numerous Stephens entities.

The Stephenses and their associates raised over $100,000.00 for Bill Clinton's Presidential campaign.

nytimes.com/1992/02/05/us/…
One of the associates that assisted in this endeavor was Curt Bradbury, who was the Chief Executive of Worthen National Bank of Arkansas and the Worthen Banking Corporation. The Stephens family owned 38% interest.

nytimes.com/1992/02/05/us/…
Curt Bradbury is currently listed as the Chief Operating Officer of Stephens, Inc., working with Warren A. Stephens, Douglas H. Martins and Mark Doramus.

The Stephenses - normally Republican - took interest in Bill Clinton as Governor of Arkansas when his Republican opponent called out the Stephenses' financial dealings and expressed interest in reducing their control.

Jon Jacoby of Little Rock is the father of Mary Barstow Jacoby Simpson of Washington DC.

Really makes you think...

Oh, apparently Mary Jacoby also worked as a file clerk at Hillary Clinton's Rose Law Firm once, I guess.

Witt Stephens himself (the founder) was a "die-hard Democrat" and influential supporter of Bill Clinton, helping with his rise.

The Stephenses were also investigated by the Federal Reserve for two years, starting in 1993 and ending in 1995. They were cleared.

Stephens, Inc. and Stephens Group both operate in two hangars at the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (or they did in 2014 anyway).

arkansasonline.com/news/2014/jul/…
Apparently A. Vernon Weaver became the U.S. Representative to the European Union on July 16, 1996 by President Clinton. He worked as Assistant to the Chairman of the Board of Stephens Group and Stephens Inc. prior to this.

I think I'm done, but I think you can see my point.
