Former Chairman Pleads Guilty To Conspiracy Count
Former Four Seasons Nursing Centers of America chairman Jack L. Clark pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate federal securities laws. Prosecutors say the scheme cost the public more than 200 million dollars in what they described as one of the nation's biggest swindles. Clark claimed the nursing homes were legitimate ventures, and Four Seasons later became Anta Inc. The case centered on Walston & Co. as the main underwriter during the public offering that fueled the stock’s dramatic rise before bankruptcy in June 1970.
