In Edward Steichen's photograph of this man, he's holding a chair handle which looks like a knife. This man backed off his support of Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower, sending Tesla into depression. This founder of the Metropolitan Club died in Rome a year after he gave up his spot on the Titanic. In 1920, 38 people died during bombings at his "corner", No. 23 Wall Street. He allied with the Rothschilds during the Panic of 1893 to supply the US Treasury with gold. He arranged the merger of Edison and Thomas-Houston into GE, and bought off Andrew Carnegie to form US Steel. For 10 points, name this financier whose bank is now linked with Chase
