JFK Assassination
- Full article: John F. Kennedy/Assassination
- Full article: John F. Kennedy/Assassination
In the 1930s he purchased the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas, from where Lee Harvey Oswald supposedly shot John F. Kennedy in 1963.
Peter Dale Scott estimates that D.H. Byrd (friend of Lyndon B. Johnson) teamed up with James Ling to make about $50M by buying 132,000 shares of LTV in November 1963 just before the JFK assassination. These shot up in value after the once LBJ came to power; whereas JFK had announced a troop withdrawal of the Vietnam war, the first contract the Pentagon awarded was for a fighter jet to LTV.[1]
