Paul Wallich

Paul Wallich (1882–1938) was a German banker and son of the banker Hermann Wallich. An assimilated Jew, who considered himself Christian, he rose to become a partner in the bank Dreyfus & Co. As the Nazis rose to power, the international business of the bank sharply declined. Assets and clients dwindled until Paul finally sold the firm to Merck Finck & Co., a Munich-based bank, while signing a 10-year consulting contract for 50,000 marks per year.

He committed suicide in the aftermath of the Kristallnacht pogrom by drowning himself in the Rhine at Cologne.

Notes

    gollark: ... what even
    gollark: There was some nice elegant explanation I forgot. IIRC it's something to do with the derivative of e^x being equal to itself.
    gollark: I assume you're doing binomial distributions if whatever A-level spec you do is similar to mine, which it probably is, in which case I don't think they cover anything more advanced than trial and error/look at a table for that. Although it's probably <=/>= instead of = 0.02, as there's no guarantee that there is any x satisfying the = version.
    gollark: It *also* matters how it's distributed.
    gollark: I'm pretty sure you need information about what "X" is there.
