The criticism and controversy part (about reconciliation and "distance to Germany") absolutely needs to be sourced. WP:BLP may not exactly apply here any more, yet the rules of respect and verifiability absolutely require that, in my opinion. --93.212.228.146 (talk) 18:06, 16 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

The complete story of Nachmann's fall is not clearly covered in this article. Shortly before his death he contacted the German Ministry for Finances, claiming that the money from the compensation funds had been spent but there were still more Nazi-era survivors entitled to payments. Finance Minister Stoltenberg agreed to have talks about that issue but demanded the books of the funds to be checked. It looks that Nachmann had not believed that a German government could ever go that far and show distrust. He died within days after that talk and it looks that the story of a "heart attack" was invented to cover up that it was suicide. When the books were checked Nachmann's successor Galinski was in shock and decided to contact the public prosecutor himself, saying that he had taken up a task he did not wish his worst enemy to do. Nachmann had carefully transferred the funds from one account to the other and invested them. Then he found ways to seperate the interest and gains on that money from the capital itself and paid the money out. That is why nobody got suspicious in the first place. During the investigations that followed experts said that the entire affair stank to such a degree that he bankers involved must have turned their noses away from that but did not dare asking questions. Nachmann's business went bankrupt, his widow lived on social security, his son in the USA could study at an expensive private university.
