Whitney Case Study Ends Washington
President Roosevelt described a securities commission report on Richard Whitney as horrifying for revealing practices to prevent. The SEC split its Whitney report into sections, with the first released today detailing how a false rumor on the floor exposed Whitney's methods to misappropriate customers securities. The commission noted Whitney negotiated about 27.4 million dollars in loans in five months to stave off failure, and that most of the borrowed funds were repaid except roughly 3 million. Whitney remains in prison as the report traces connections to Greyhound distress selling via John B. Shethar, whose vague tip catalyzed the inquiry.
