Raymond B. Vickers
Raymond Vickers, whose background includes a law degree, a Ph.D. in history, and four years as assistant comptroller of Florida (which made him Chief of Staff of the Florida Department of Banking and Finance) is uniquely qualified to provide a thorough disclosure of the Florida banking debacle of the 1920s. His long-term research and successful lawsuits designed to force the disclosure of sealed records have brought him to the attention of such major media outlets as the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, in which Vickers said: "I haven't found a single bank failure that didn't involve a conscious conspiracy to defraud."
