Rockefeller Railroad Deal Sparks Stock Loss Confession
A Minnesota hearing reveals John D. Rockefeller backed a railroad project with a $1,000,000 investment yielding over 250 percent profit. Martz testifies he owned 49 shares, 19 borrowed by the company, with the fate of those shares unclear. He sold 1 1/2 shares for $30 each, while a $200 dividend later accrues per remaining share. Valuation inflation is alleged, with Martz admitting padding the railroad’s cost from $7,932,000 to $8,382,000 and a claimed external rebuild cost of $3,500,000. Counsel Murray urged a $5,000,000 valuation to please Rockefeller.
