Kidnap plot tied to ransom threat on Bronfman heir
FBI says two Irish born Brooklyn men plotted to abduct Samuel Bronfman the whisky heir and threatened to kill him and his father Edgar Bronfman unless a $2.3 million ransom was paid. Lynch and Byrne faced federal extortion charges and state kidnapping counts as authorities pursued both avenues. Samuel Bronfman was later rescued unharmed from Lynch’s Brooklyn apartment and returned to his mother’s estate. The incident preceded Bronfman’s planned wedding to Georgiana Webb, his third wife, postponed briefly amid the case.
