Clarence Hatry, failed British financier, 1929. Artist: Unknown


Clarence Hatry, failed British financier, 1929. On 20 September 1929 trading in shares in Clarence Charles Hatry's (1888-1965) company, the Hatry group, was suspended by the London Stock Exchange. The company had massive liabilities and Hatry was charged with forgery and fraud, for which he served nine years in prison. The collapse of his business empire is widely credited as a contributing factor to the Wall Street Crash of 1929, which began nine days later.
