Leo Koretz and the Bayano River Syndicate

from Criminalia · host Shondaland Audio and iHeartPodcasts

Those who considered themselves financially savvy in Chicago in the early 1920s wanted in on one investment: the Bayano River Syndicate. It was an exclusive investment, and centered around oil-rich lands in Panama. And a mild-mannered, balding, and bespectacled lawyer named Leo Koretz was the guy who held the key to investing in it. But Koretz wasn't who he seemed, and neither were his oil fields in Panama.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
