Charles
G. Rebozo was born on November 17, 1912, in Tampa,
Florida. In 1969, Charles Gregory "Bebe" Rebozo
received $100,000 from a third party as a campaign
contribution to the Republican Party, but he
never gave it to them. He kept $100,000 in a
safe deposit box and wanted to have it returned
to the ultimate contributor, Howard Hughes. Rebozo,
a close friend of President Richard M. Nixon,
received a letter threatening to kill him in
1974. Rebozo advised that he didn't feel threatened
by the letter. The person whose name was on the
return address denied sending the letter and/or
knowing anything about it. President Nixon often
vacationed in the home and/or next door to Rebozo's
residence in Key Biscayne, Florida. In 1976,
Rebozo was the subject of a bank fraud investigation
concerning a loan that he had taken out at the
Hudson Valley National Bank, Yonkers, New York.
The loan application stated it was for real estate,
but it was used to make a business loan. Rebozo
repaid the loan with interest and the Hudson
Valley National Bank filed no complaint.
