On what? that he opposed the Fed, and miraculously died in the Titanic when most of the wealthy passengers survived. IIRC he was personally invited by Morgan.

Morgan made a spectacle of his own arrival clearly intended to make his presence known, and then discreetly disembarked with his property.

Astor was an industrialist, who represented a significant portion of the manufacturing faction of the economy; back in a time when manufacturing dominated the US interested.

Before the Fed coup.

    That's not something that I've really investigated.

    Here's a link which briefly mentions the murder of three prominent industrialist and their opposition.

    MURDERING THE OPPOSITION

    The Federal Reserve did have some opposition. Three of the richest and most important of the opponents were Benjamin Guggenheim, Isador Strauss, the head of Macy’s Department Stores, and John Jacob Astor, probably the wealthiest man in the world. Their total wealth, at that time, using dollar values of their day was more than 500 million dollars. Today that amount of money would be worth nearly eleven billion dollars.

    These three men were coaxed and encouraged to board the floating palace. They had to be destroyed because the Jesuits knew these men would use their wealth and influence to oppose a Federal Reserve Bank as well as the various wars that were being planned.

    I haven't delved deeply into the pre-FED monetary politics.
