Page "Jerome Davis Greene" Paragraph 4

As an investment banker, Greene is mainly remembered for his sales of millions of dollars of the fraudulent securities of the Swedish match king, Ivar Kreuger.

That Greene offered these to the American investing public in good faith is evident from the fact that he put a substantial part of his own fortune in the same investments.

As a consequence, Kreuger's suicide in Paris in April 1932 left Greene with little money and no job.

He wrote to Lionel Curtis asking for help and was given, for two years, a professorship in international relations at Aberystwyth, Wales.

The Round Table Group controlled the professorship from its founding by David Davies 1919, though Davies had broken with the Round Table because of its subversion of the League of Nations and European collective security.
