Scroll down to the the bottom of this public relations piece on Henry Buhl and see the comment I found.
The reason I searched in the first place is I was told the founder of ACE Henry Buhl doesn't want the Vendors on Prince St. who plenty are minorities, Veteran Vendors and Artist on his block and he allegedly calls the NYPD to arrest them and plans to drop large planters where their work spaces have been for many years.
From the post below it sounds like he made his fortune in Bernie Madoff like fashion in the 1970's and yet he has the NYPD jumping through hoops to ticket, arrest and wipe Veteran Vendors and artists who have been there as long as he has in Soho but haven't been tied up in law suits in Wall Street Scandals over 250 million dollars gone missing in the 1970's? I am an artist not a SEC Investigator or NYPD Detective so you tell me and ask Community Board 1 and Margaret Chin if this isn't economic racism as well?
Is it true?
Are you aware that Henry Buhl's financial partner and protege was rogue financier, Robert Vesco - the Bernie Madoff of the 1970s - who fled to Castro's Cuba and spent the rest of his life there after being accused of looting $250 million from Investors Overseas Services.
Buhl was a respondent in the same lawsuit by IOS, and settled with the SEC for his part in the scheme.
Buhl was also a respondent in another lawsuit by another slimeball financier, Bernie Cornfield, in 1978.

Robert Vesco would later be accused by the U.S. Government of looting a
quarter billion dollars (426 million in 1986) from Bernard Cornfeld's
Investors Overseas Services. (See Arthur Herzog, VESCO copyright©1987

Vesco was backed by Henry Buhl, who introduced Vesco to investment
bankers Lazard Frères; Salomon Brothers; Allen & Co.; John Loeb, Sr.
of Loeb & Rhoades; Lehman Brothers; Smith Barney; and to his
accountant Arthur Andersen. "As Honore de Balzac, French novelist and playwrite, wrote: "Being every fortune there is a crime."
