$150,000 in current dollar currency. so he was getting another salary from a rich friend. it was an enormous controversy at the time, as you can see from that a nightly news clip. fordyce was even on track to become chief justice on the supreme court before his career was derailed by a number of ethics scandals. most damning was when he agreed to the 20,000 legal retainer for life to provide unspecified counsel to financier lewis wilson. at the time, wilson was already under investigation for security fraud. he was ultimately convicted a year later and served nine months in prison. again, this was, correctly, a huge deal. you can't have a justice sitting on the supreme court, even though he did not violate any laws, as the report indicated, be dependent on the largess of some rich buddy.
