Five times Bilderberger financier; "the richest and most influential man whom no one really knew." Accused of fraud after his death.

Frank Hilton Pearl was a US businessman. "In Washington’s elite business and cultural circles, Frank H. Pearl was known as the richest and most influential man whom no one really knew."Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many

As a Washington-based financier, Pearl kept an unusually low-profile in a city of big names and big egos, avoiding publicity most of his life even as he gathered considerable wealth, influence and connections while engineering leveraged buyouts in the 1980s as a partner at the Wesray Capital Corporation.[1] "Pearl was like the prince of smoke," said Bill Regardie, a businessman and the former publisher of Regardie’s, a magazine that chronicled the local business scene in the 1980s and early ’90s. "He was one of the those characters that you never really knew what he was doing. You never knew whether he had any money. He was one of those characters that floated around the businesses of Washington."[2]

He was a close friend of the deep state operative Vernon E. Jordan Jr.[3]

Fraud

A year after his death, "lawsuits filed by major banks that had extended him loans and his own investment firm allege fraud by the man once known for his Midas touch. Bank of America, TD Bank, Eagle Bank and Perseus have filed claims against Pearl's estate in D.C. and federal courts. In all, they are seeking more than $50 million."[2]
