"Jacob Schiff, who was head of the New York investment firm Kuhn, Loeb and Company, had raised the capital for large war loans to Japan. It was due to this funding that the Japanese were able to launch a stunning attack against the Russians at Port Arthur and the following year to virtually decimate the Russian fleet.
Jacob Schiff was head of the New York investment firm Kuhn, Loeb and Co. He was one of the principal backers of the
Bolshevik revolution and personally financed Trotsky's trip from New York
to Russia."
