.... Richard Whiney -- president of the N.Y. Stock Exchange -- was later imprisoned in Sing- Sing.
.... Albert Fall -- member of the president's cabinet -- was sent to prison and later pardoned so he could die at home.
.... Leon Fraser -- president of the Bank of International Settlement -- committed suicide.
