Beame Accused of Duping Public on NYC Bonds
A seven volume SEC report accuses former New York City Mayor Abraham Beame and city officials of deceiving investors about the safety of city bonds. It charges Beame knew of budget gimmicks and misrepresented finances while major banks underwrote about 4 billion in notes between 1974 and 1975. The document questions possible legal action and weighs impact on Beame’s political future and the city’s future bond market access.
