JD MCKNIGHT WARNS INVESTORS. COULD REPEAT PANIC OF 1893.

Prominent New York financier JD McKnight spoke to a group in New York Friday, saying that the economic polices of the United States could create another financial panic "within the next 10 years." During the Panic of 1893, the US Treasury nearly ran out of gold, prompting McKnight and others to sell the government 3.5 million ounces of gold.

McKnight also helped to rebuild Saint Denis after the Civil War, an act that prompted the city to build a statue in his honor. Critics contend McKnight is an opportunist and carpetbagger who has repeatedly benefitted greatly from catastrophe and economic crisis.
