Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1997 (44 USC 2107 Hotey. DATE: 11-14-2017 ~ ¢ @” a won ‘ “ NU Nt | te NY 137-9495 GLEASON contacted LEVINE and LEVINE told him ‘he could probably get the loan for the corporation to repay the Savings and Loan Association. LEVINE did not produce for six weeks and a meeting came about in. the informant's office. At this meeting, LEVINE indicated he wanted money. CRISONA agreed to put up $10,000 in escrow. The informant stated that he would not accept escrow money. He felt that CRISONA, from the tone of his conversation, would realize there was a possibility LEVINE. was attempting to con him. CRISONA readily agreed to furnish $10,000./f He wrote a check for $10,000 to the informant, who, in/turn, wrote a check to LEVINE for $6,000. He stated he/is holding $4,000 for incidental expenses concerning Ahis loan. Informant advised that LEVINE is sending S$ BERK, a NewYork attorney to Montreal, Canada, to attempt £o get this loan from the ; National Canadian Bank. ; \ Recommendation i It is recommended that the above information be used by the Bureau to institute an investigation in the Washington, D.C. area. It is possible that the Savings and Loan Association, through OGILVEY acted in violation of the banking laws in granting loans. a It is suggested that an attempt be made to identify | OGILVEY and the Federal Savings and Loan Association with which he was connected. It is further suggested that appropriate bank officials be contacted at this institution and advised that information had been received from an anonymous source indicating inproper activities on the part of OGILVEY. It is believed that investigation in this matter, if instituted in the Washington, D.C. area, will not compromise the informant. However, it is suggested that no disclosure be made of this particular loan to Rock Hill to officials | of this bank. Informant advised he has not engaged in any illegal activity concerning this loan, but has merely been the middleman in the transaction involving GEORGE LEVINE's attempt to obtain refinancing for this corporation. a a ASS ’ \ * Ey SSRN AG * CeO So IN \ , co Docld: 32327976 Page 3
