Rollercoaster Tycoon - Alfred Lowenstein's Freefall, Airtime & Alleged Death | ACSH Ep. XXVII

On the Fourth of July, 1928, Belgian financier and European economic impresario Alfred Lowenstein disappeared from his own flight in private plane over the English Channel. His alleged corpse was found days later, poorly identified and buried in an unmarked grave by his estranged wife. The at-the-time third wealthiest man in world's death is marred by questions and conspiracies, ranging from his death being arranged by New York crime boss Arnold Rothstein, who too would die later that year, to Lowenstein faking it himself to shake debtors and foes. We explore all that and more today, y'all.
