Mr Roth left his position as chairman as a direct result of the calverton scandal. Gleason engineered the whole matter in order to make possible for the entry of sindona. Arthur Roth would never have approved sindona as vice chairman, given his association with criminal associates in Italy.

Possible factual error in article[edit]

I think the information here may be seriously incorrect. I seem to recall that Roth retired honorably, and at first was happy to see his protege Gleason take the helm, but then had doubts and misgivings related to Sindona's presence and Gleason's going along with Sindona's shady agenda. NEWSDAY took Gleason's side and according to Roth's autobiography more or less invented the Calverton land scandals, claiming it was an abuse of Roth's inside knowledge as a board member of the semi-governmental Nassau-Suffolk (later LI) Regional Planning Board. This came maybe a year AFTER Roth had retired from the helm of the bank, I think I recall. Then, after Roth reluctantly resigned from the NSRPB board (feeling he'd been unfairly targeted due to Newsday's own hidden agenda), Gleason (FNB CEO and Sindona stooge) was appointed CHAIRMAN of the NSRPB, with Newsday's very enthusiastic blessings. (The director of the NSRPB, Lee Koppelman, was the beneficiary of Newsday's constant editorial fawning over his brilliance; Newsday and the NSRPB strategized together and had similar goals for a glorious future for Long Island, as did Roth in his heyday).

Newsday and Gleason remained close, a reporter told me, up to the day Gleason went to prison. And afterwards, too, perhaps - since Newsday's comprehensive history of Long Island in the 1980-90s failed to mention the world's greatest-ever bank failure until after I embarrassed them by asking them about it in a public forum. (These writers and editors all seemed genuinely surprised they'd overlooked such a huge story.) Their FNB story, when it appeared, was pretty well done, but was not included in the huge book based on Newsday's history series (maybe it's in a later edition if there was one, but I rather doubt it)94.170.101.136 (talk) 13:02, 30 July 2010 (UTC).[reply]
