Whitaker Wright Flows From London to Sudden Death
A warrant pursued Whitaker Wright to England where he faced a collapse of his London and Globe ventures and epic fraud schemes. His trial exposed aristocratic backers, corrupt balance sheets, and a City shaken by losses. Wright died in custody after a seven year sentence, reportedly by cyanide, leaving a dramatic end to a famed finance saga.
