As The Money Burns

A Mess of Things


Listen Later

Secrets are unleashed when two wealthy industrialists find themselves in different dire straits only to make the same permanent fatal decision.

In March 1932, both Swedish “Match King” Ivar Kreuger and George Eastman commit suicide but for very different reasons.  Kreuger’s empire falls apart after bad dealings, while Eastman suffers ill health.  The impact of their deaths joins a long list of recent prominent suicides and a rising disturbing trend.
