Quick dig on Samantha (((Swig))) is from a long line of Jewish bankers. They are all connected.

In San Francisco, Swig was President of the Jewish Community Federation and the Jewish Community Endowment Fund. He established the Swig Judaic Studies Program at the University of San Francisco where he also served as chairman of the board

 

Great Grandfather

Benjamin Harrison Swig (born 17 November 1893 in Taunton, Massachusetts, deceased in 31 October 1980) is the son of banker and politician Simon Swig, and the father of Melvin Swig. When Simon died, he made his son Benjamin treasurer of the Tremont Trust Company in Boston.

From 1925 to 1945, Benjamin Swig was a real estate operator. He was a partner of the real estate firm Swig, Weiler and Arnow that was founded in 1936[1][2], whicbecame the Swig company.

He bought the Fairmont Hotel in 1945, and later the St. Francis Hotel.[4] In 1956, he purchased the Mission Inn in Riverside. He sold 1,000 artworks and artifacts from the hotel to revitalize its finances to no avail.

In the early 1970s, the troubled elections at the Santa Clara University led the students to picket the Fairmont Hotel to protest against Benjamin Swig, who also served as SCU's Chairman of the board of trustees. After Benjamin Swig repeatedly plead in his favor, the City of San Francisco granted the Key of the City to Sun Myung Moon in 1973. In 1977, his son Melvin created the Mae and Benjamin Swig Chair in Judaic Studies at the University of San Francisco, the first ever Jewish Studies chair and program at a Catholic university worldwide.

 

Great Great Grandfather

Simon Swig (1862 in Pren, Lithuania - July 30, 1939 in Taunton, Massachusetts). In 1875, when Swig was 13, he immigrated to the United States. He quickly saw success in the U.S. banking industry, promptly earning enough to bring his parents to the United States. As his banking career grew, Swig also became involved in politics in his adopted home state of Massachusetts.

In the early 20th century, Swig became Vice President of the Tremont Trust Company, in Boston, Massachusetts, which soon became known colloquially as "Simon Swig's Bank." Swig installed his son, Benjamin Swig, as the bank's treasurer. Alongside Tremont, Swig also gained control of the Tamiami Banking Company in 1926.

Swig was a popular figure in the Boston banking world, but rose to prominence for his involvement in uncovering Charles Ponzi’s banking irregularities known as the “Ponzi Scheme.”
