About Robert Schuyler
Robert Schuyler or Robert Livingston Schuyler (September 16, 1798 – November 15, 1855), was a financier, steamboat operator, and railroad president who acted as the de facto head of the prominent Schuyler family during his adulthood. Schuyler, who in his day was known as "America's first railroad king," is best known today for his role in America’s first large-scale stock fraud on the New York and New Haven Railroad.
His scandal is among the greatest scandals in Wall Street history alongside the Bernie Madoff scandal and the Richard Whitney scandal.
