Memorandum to Mr. DeLoach

Re: UNKNOWN SUBJECTS (3)

THEFT OF $2, 034, 691, 25

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

securities under the terms set by Gray in Miami. Rothman said he was broke

and requested Gray to loan him the money for airplane fare to New York today.

Superyisor Nehrbass requested Bureau authority io advance Gray $175 to give

to Rothman for an airplane ticket.

Based on developments to date, it 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 publir 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

should be instructed to inform Rothman that the payoff will be made under pre-

arranged 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:

The Miami Office will submit a detailed teletype today furnishing

latest developments in this matter.
