Break Market Breaks Linked to Brown Co Collapse
Edward F. Buchanan testified at a bankruptcy hearing on August 22 and 23 about massive trading by A. O. Brown & Co. that pressured the firm into failure. George S. Whitney of Whitney Stephenson & Co. was identified as the secret customer with an account labeled No. 500. Whitney’s account showed a large short position and a $360,000 deficit, prompting a Saturday market attempt to cover shorts. The hearing examined capital contributions, the Hanover National Bank dispute, and Account No. 6 as a vehicle for Whitney’s dealings. The session adjourned to continue the next day.
