Lawmakers Probe Penn Central Manipulation and Profit
UPI reports congressional investigators accuse two Penn Central officers, David Bevan and Charles Hodge, of manipulating assets and credit to profit 500 percent through the Penn Club investment group. The House Banking Committee says the 16 to 26 member club earned $83,500 on a $16,500 cash stake, aided by $1.8 million in low interest Chem Bank loans. This financing allegedly placed Bevan and other Penn Central officials in conflicts of interest.
