He built a financial empire in East Tennessee, was the Democratic Party nominee for governor of Tennessee in 1978 and the primary promoter of the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, and lost his business and his personal fortune after he was found to have engaged in massive fraud.
==Early life and banking career==
Butcher was born in Union County, Tennessee. His father, Cecil H. Butcher, Sr., was a general store manager and bank president in Union County. After attending the University of Tennessee and Hiwassee College, Jake Butcher served in the United States Marine Corps. He married the former Sonya Wilde in 1962.〔 They had four children Maria, Scarlett, Brad, and Jason Butcher.
Having worked at their father's bank during their youth, Butcher and his younger brother C.H. Butcher, Jr. began buying stock in numerous Tennessee banks starting in 1968. By 1974, the Butcher brothers owned or controlled eight banks, and Jake Butcher's United American Bank controlled 39% of the banking reserves in Knoxville, Tennessee. By 1982, UAB was responsible for over 50% of Knoxville's business loans and Butcher's personal net worth was declared to be about $34 million.〔 In the late 1970s, United American Bank built its 27-story headquarters, the Plaza Tower, which remains Knoxville's tallest building.〔Jerry Dean, "Plaza Building Being Sold," ''Knoxville News-Sentinel'', 28 August 1997.〕〔Josh Flory, "City's Tallest Building Sold for Tall Price to N.
