Ryan cites attorney advice and refuses to disclose Harriman’s statements or threats, noting strained ties and ongoing plans to retain control. Harriman sought stock and control, paying $2.6 million for Hyde stock, while Ryan maintains his course despite pressure.
Ryan to be Prosected Over Refused Answers in Hearings
The committee plans to send Ryan's testimony to District Attorney Jerome with a request for prosecutions after he refused to answer certain questions. Ryan justified paying nearly 5000 a share for stock, warning a receiver would trigger a national panic and threaten his enterprises. He argued the buyout would remove the company from imminent destruction and restore prosperity, and said he may accept a policy holder elected board if the legislature allows.
