ae] _Memorandum to Mr. DeLoach a ‘Re: UNKNOWN SUBJECTS (2) a - THEFT OF $2,034,63.25 - -  § § . ae Rothman told Gray that he felt if he could go to New York and meet with his contact that he could convince the contact to proceed with the sale of the 7 securities under the terms set by Gray in Miami, Rothman said he was broke . ae and rejuested Gray to loan him the money for airplane fare to New York today. — ° a | Supervisor Nehrbass requested Bureau authority to advance Gray $175 to give to Rothman for an airplane ticket. , witness bli teat wd apron ma e Lee, oe Based on developments to date, tt appears that Rothman is only acting as the middleman in this transaction and it is entirely possible that Gray is being given the runaround since it is public knowledge that he has previously cooperated with the FBI, Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies. In view of these considerations, the Miami Office was subsequently advised ~ that Bureau authority was denied to advance Gray this money; that Gray 7 . should be instructed to inform Rothman that the payoff will be made under pre- “.. ">" apranged conditions wherein good faith money has been deposited in a local Miami bank, The Miami Office was also instructed to have SAs Nehrbass and Casey return to New York today unless there are definite developments indicating © Rothman will produce the securities in Miami. ACTION: . e . The Miami Office will submit a detailed teletype today furnishing latest developments in this matter. ca » 87: ‘ ee ; 34 Pe ) Docld: 32310684 Page 3
