Vesco reported to have died

According to this item in the New York Times of May 2, 2008, Vesco is reported by what appear to be reliable sources as having died of lung cancer. Clevelander96 (talk) 01:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Slight inaccuracy

The article says " Cornfeld was jailed in Switzerland". Cornfeld was actually acquitted in Switzerland. He spent a year in prison there on remand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.52.143 (talk) 11:47, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
