Interesting 🧵on Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and Frederick T Gates, John D Rockefeller's investment adviser en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick…

Kuhn, Loeb & Co was an investment bank located in NYC. The firm grew to prominence during the railroad era in the United States

Its first meaningful investments : the Chicago and North Western Railroad, , the Pennsylvania Railroad & the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad.

Famous partners of the firm included Otto Kahn, Paul Warburg, Felix Warburg, Mortimer Schiff,and Sigmund Warburg, founder of S.G. Warburg.

Kuhn, Loeb Company is mentioned in this article:
"Stockholms Enskilda Bank, German Bosch and IG Farben. A Short History of Cloaking"
tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.108…

The Warburg family is a prominent German and American banking family

Jacob H. Schiff, a banker who grew up in Frankfurt and had ties to the German Warburgs financed most of the American rail system through his investment bank of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.

" Schiff's great-great grandson Drew was married to Al Gore's daughter, Karenna, who has risen in place at the Union Theological Seminary. UTS partners w/ the Jewish Theological Seminary, each located in NYC where the JTS has historically been associated with the Jewish Museum."
