David Lamar (circa 1877 - January 12, 1934) was an conman known as the "Wolf of Wall Street".

In 1913 he was under indictment in New York and was charged with impersonating a member of Congress. When James McMahon appeared against Lamar in court, McMahon was stabbed and beaten by members of the Eastman Gang as he entered the courthouse and was unable to testify.

During 1915, Lamar acted as an agent for the German Navy intelligence agent in New York City, Franz von Rintelen, in promoting strikes and work slowdowns in munitions plants by means of the Labor's National Peace Council. From offices at 55 Liberty Street, von Rintelen spent US$500,000 doing so, most of which went to Lamar, whose reports of success were exaggerated.

Lamar died in 1934.

Wall Street refers to the financial district of New York City, named after and centered on the eight-block-long street running from Broadway to South Street on the East River in Lower Manhattan. Over time, the term has become a metonym for the financial markets of the United States as a whole, or signifying New York-based financial interests. It is the home of the New York Stock Exchange, the world's largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its listed companies. Several other major exchanges have or had headquarters in the Wall Street area, including NASDAQ, the New York Mercantile Exchange, the New York Board of Trade, and the former American Stock Exchange. Anchored by Wall Street, New York City is one of the world's principal financial centers.

There are varying accounts about how the Dutch-named "de Waal Straat" got its name. A generally accepted version is that the name of the street name was derived from an earthen wall on the northern boundary of the New Amsterdam settlement, perhaps to protect against English colonial encroachment or incursions by native Americans. A conflicting explanation is that Wall Street was named after Walloons -- possibly a Dutch abbreviation for Walloon being Waal. Among the first settlers that embarked on the ship "Nieu Nederlandt" in 1624 were 30 Walloon families.
