Switzerland. IOS Program Certificate specimen. POC, red SPECIMEN overprint. ABNC. VF+. Well known mutual fund that eventually collapsed due to financial dealings with Financier Robert Vesco who, at the time, was also in financial trouble. Vesco turned to Cornfeld and offered his help to improve the finances of IOS. Vesco proceeded to use $500 million worth of IOS money to cover his own investments in his International Controls Corporation. When he was discovered, Vesco fled to the Bahamas. IOS then collapsed and in the process ruined a number of US and European banks. (From the collection of John E. Herzog)
