Bank Charter Catalyst Tangles Nixon Property Ties
The AP reports Robert Abplanalp, a Nixon ally and major bank investor, helped form a Yonkers bank that secured its federal charter a year after purchasing land tied to Nixon’s San Clemente estate. William Griffin Jr., Abplanalp’s attorney, bought two Key Biscayne lots from Nixon in late 1972 with substantial profit, while the bank’s organizers say the charter process was routine and no White House involvement was found.
