Read this slow ok...
Prescott at the time was an investment banker with Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), which had funneled U.S. capital into Germany during the 1920s and '30s. Among the seized companies was the Union Banking Corporation (UBC) of New York, which was controlled by German industrialist Fritz Thyssen.
Prescott Bush, for his part, owned a single share of stock (of 4,000) in UBC
I've done my research, and now you read this slow, since it gets even worse for you:
Presscott Bush was the "Managing Director" of the bank, as his official title. The reason he had 1 stock, because that is what they give the managing director. His bosses brother, Roland Harriman, owned 3900 of the Shares.
What research have you done? Let me guess....you read some more of LaRouche's ranting.....ohhhh that's research all right. Funny how you are willing to accept any kind of research except for the academic kind. Ohh academia...it's soooo bad....you can't trust anyone who has ever stepped foot on a university campus.
I never said Prescott Bush was kicked out of the Harriman business, what I said was that he resigned in 1931....see that resigned in 1931...that's a historical fact. He was still on the board, but did not attend regular meetings and stayed on the board as more of a gesture of friendship than anything else. You also keep ignoring the fact that the Nazis seized the bank fro themselves in 1938....a good 4 years before it's business in the U.S. was seized and shut down. You also keep ignoring the fact that hundreds, if not thousands, of other German businesses were seized in the U.S. Many of them had no ties at all to the Nazi movement and were simply owned by a German company.
The Nazis siezed a US bank?
And this one DID have ties to the Nazis.
Prescott Bush made $1.5 million from his one share. In 1940's dollars.
