Storia (Tedesco) |
Oliver Ames II. (1831-1895) war der Neffe von Oliver Ames. Er führte nach dem Tod seines Vaters die Geschäfte fort. Oliver Ames (1807-1877) war von 1866 bis 1868 President der Union Pacific Railroad. Gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Oakes betrieb er die Oliver Ames & Sons Shovel Company. Oakes übernahm die Kontrolle über die Credit Mobilier of America. Diese bekam den Auftrag, die restlichen 667 Meilen der Union Pacific (sein Bruder Oliver war ja der President) für 47,925 Millionen Dollar fertig zu bauen. Der Gewinn für die Credit Mobilier of America betrug schätzungsweise rund 20 Millionen Dollar. Doch der Skandal kam zum Überkochen als herauskam, dass Oliver Ames und Thomas Durant große Aktienpakete der Credit Mobilier of America bei Abgeordneten des Kongresses platziert hatten, um diese für die Bewilligung von Zweigstellen der Union Pacific auf ihre Seite zu bringen. Die Veröffentlichung durch die New York Sun beeinflusste schließlich den Ausgang der Wahlen zum Kongress im Jahr 1872. | |||
Storia (Inglese) |
Oliver Ames II. (1831-1895) was the nephew of Oliver Ames. He managed his father's fortune posthumously. Oliver Ames (1806-1877) was president of the Union Pacific Railroad from 1866 to 1868. He ran the Oliver Ames and Sons Shovel Company together with his brother Oakes. Oakes took over control of the Credit Mobilier of America. This company received the assignment to complete the remaining 667 miles of the Union Pacific (his brother Oliver was the president) for $47.925 million. The profit for Credit Mobilier of America amounted to approximately $20 million. However, the scandal boiled over when it came out that Oliver Ames and Thomas Durant had spread large numbers of shares of the Credit Mobilier of America among Congressional representatives in order to bring them onto the side of the railroad for the approval of branch sections of the Union Pacific. The publication by the New York Sun even influenced the results of the Congressional elections of 1872. | |||
