CHICAGO’S PONZI
WAS ONE SLY D JC.;
Leo Koretz Lampooned Himself in
Many Incriminating Roles in Fleecing*.
Chicago, Dee. 20. —Leo Koretz, what
ever his faults, worked with a flourish
’nd with flawless teehflique.
His roeor/i speaks for itself as a re
sult of his indictment on a charge of
taking more than $4,000,000 from
smart business men by fairy tales of
Southern plantation mortgages and
Panama mahogany forests and oil wells.
For the frills eonsider that he is al
leged to have fleeced his own mother,
pothers and friends.
A cynical jest turned up in the rub
bish he left in flight- It is a set of
magic lantern cartoon slides, extolling
his schemes and boasting of the villainy
which none believed. Imagine the ap
plause at a testimonial banquet when
there appeared on the screen above the
table a crowned likeness of “Leo, the
Oil King.” And the laughs when the
rnnicnl Leo admitted "roping in his
friends” or posed as a pirate.
Grateful investors showed apprecia
tion by entertaining for Koretz nnd by
giving him an expensive car. A
souvenir of such a banquet arranged by
relatives and close friends was found in
bis desk.
It was an honor to be let in the
Bayano River Trust. the Pnnamn
Bonanza of Leo Koretz. cultured, far
seeing “gibraltar” of finance. The pro
moter did not cheapen his stock by beg
ging buyers. If he disliked a person, he
refused to sell- to him. The price always
was way above par. But dividends
gushed in at a minimum of 10 per cent-,
and any dissatisfied purchaser could get
a refund at a moment’s notice.
Koretz was a self made man. As a
poor youth lie had gone to work for a
great attorney, finished night law school
and mnde his every cent for himself.
Toward the- last he had two elaborate
offices here and maintained a year round
suite in the Hotel St. Regis, New York.
His first wealth came from exploiting
Arkansas rice fields. Then, ho recount
ed. he lined up a timber concession in
Panama, 100 mi'es long nnd 50 wide.
