US German Team In Penn Maneuvers
A four million dollar Penn Central sum was seized in Liechtenstein in 1969 and later claimed by West German financier Fidel Goetz. Goetz intends to keep the funds as compensation for losses from ventures with the railroad, with no extradition to the United States. The NYT investigation traced the scheme to Goetz and two American lawyers, Joseph H. Rosenbaum and Francis N. Rosenbaum, amid broader scrutiny by the Banking and Currency Committee after Penn Central’s June 1970 bankruptcy. The piece details Goetz’s 1967 start in a Bavarian textile empire and ties to Executive Jet Aviation.
