About George Whitney, Jr.
George Whitney, Jr. was a descendant of John Whitney (1589/92 - 1673), an English immigrant who arrived in America in 1635 and who settled in Watertown, Massachusetts. This prominent branch of the Whitney family of New York descends from Boston. Richard Whitney's father, George Whitney, Sr., of Boston, Massachusetts, was president of North National Union Bank, and educated George Whitney, Jr., and his younger brother Richard at Groton School and Harvard University.
George had a position at J.P. Morgan & Co. that proved invaluable in that it allowed him to direct substantial business to his brother Richard's bond brokerage firm Richard Whitney & Co.. Richard Whitney (August 1, 1888 – December 5, 1974) was an American financier, president of the New York Stock Exchange from 1930 to 1935. He was later convicted of embezzlement and imprisoned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Whitney_(financier)
George Whitney eventually made restitution for all the money his brother owed.
