There's another thread about A. Alfred Taubman. Does anyone have any information about the influence on Detroit by Ben Tobin?

I'm told he had a bigger influence on Miami but I recall some mention of his philanthropy in Detroit. I believe he was also a mall developer.

Google shows a http://www.bentobinco.com/ website that doesn't render (at least for my browser).

Google also shows a USDOJ plea agreement signed by a Ben Tobin in 2005. The Ben Tobin to which I refer, I'm told, passed away long before 2005.
