Archbishop Beckman was introduced to the idea of investing borrowed money into gold mines. He perhaps thought that he could gain funds to further his collection. Instead Beckman had involved the Archdiocese in what turned out to be a dubious gold mine scheme. Because Beckman had signed notes on behalf of the Archdiocese, this caused financial problems for the Archdiocese when the scheme fell apart and the individual who created this scam was arrested. President Roosevelt directed the FBI to investigate Beckman to determine what his involvement would have been in this financial scheme, not Beckman's opposition to the President as some believed. Soon the holders of the notes began demanding repayment. Most of Beckman's collection was sold to pay off the notes. The cost to the Archdiocese was over half a million dollars.
