Coda aA nearly century-old Wall Street scandal rooted in unscrupulous investment banking and derivative hedge funds techniques developed by one man--Swedish émigré and notorious charmer Ivar Kreuger. Kreuger made his fortune in the 1920s by raising money from American investors to lend to European governments in exchange for match monopolies. After the collapse of 1929, he continued to make money. Then in 1932 he suddenly committed suicide. As his fraudulent schemes unraveled in the wake of his death, the so-called "Kreuger crash" began, bankrupting millions and leading to the enactment of the securities laws of 1933 and 193414aKreuger, Ivar, d1880-1932 94866524aSvenska tändsticks AB 948666xHistoria 24aKreuger & Toll 948667xHistoria 24aSveriges riksbank 948668xHistoria  4aIndustria del fósforo xHistoria 948670zSuecia  4aEstafadores 92846zSuecia  4aDelincuentes vBiografías927192zSuecia  4aCapitalistas y financieros95067zSuecia  4aFinanzas internacionales xPrácticas corruptas 948671 2lcccBK icmc  c127103d127103 00102lcc40708RRaBJBbBJBcRRd2026-05-14l0oB HD 9660 K92P 2009p00000199802r2026-05-14 15:43:00t1w2026-05-14yBK
