Bank stock theft ties to New York Life probe
Key testimony before the Armstrong committee reveals that New York Life officers manipulated vault access to remove New York City stock valued at about 700000 dollars and replaced it with a 700000 dollar Central National Bank check. The scheme was not booked in the company's records and aimed at untaxed assets. Theodore Banta and Edmund D Randolph described the unauthorized transaction, with Milton M Mattison confirming funds were used from the Nylic fund. George W Perkins reported profits of 40193 dollars from bond sales tied to Kidder, Peabody & Co, and stated Nylic funds funded the deal though no records showed loss or proper accounting. The affair centers on possible illegal tax avoidance and hidden profits from insurance-company assets.
