The arrest of banker Andrew Caspersen on charges of trying to defraud investors of $95 million has prompted his family to try to shed light on the circumstances surrounding his father’s suicide six years ago amid a U.S. tax investigation.
Caspersen’s father was Finn M.W. Caspersen, a financier and philanthropist who ran Beneficial Corp. as his own father had before. Finn Caspersen sold the company in 1998 for almost $9 billion. He shocked his family and friends in 2009 by shooting himself near their Rhode Island estate.
