Michigan man’s 1920s money gamble ends with $6,000 cash
In 1925 a Michigan man pledged $400,000 in stocks to secure a $280,000 bank loan. The market collapse led the bank to foreclose and sell the stock for $830,000, cancel the loan, and issue a $60,000 deposit. The bank failed, his $60,000 dwindled to $36,000, but he later bought back his original securities for $80,000. He now owns the same stock, has wiped out the debt, and holds $6,000 cash, leaving his gains or losses unclear in the low mood era.
