Vandalism re: AMORC and the House of Rothschild
I removed these two unreferenced passages:

"In 1998 the firm was bought by Martin Breyer (aka Lord Rothschild) from AMORC for $100 million used as part of a resettlement program for the Breyers of eastern Germany. Martin Breyer became Chairman and Harry Rothschild became Vice Chairman."

"The current board chairs are Harry Rothschild, Vice Chairman since 1995, and Martin Breyer, Chairman since June 1998."

AMORC is a mystical fraternity that claims descendance from the Rosicrucians; I can find no reference to any other organization of this name. It is highly unlikely that it would have purchased B&L or any of its divisions. The House of Rothschild is a subject of innumerable conspiracy theories, and documentably other people have been Chairs of the Board in the years claimed:

Absent evidence to the contrary, this appears to be a prank that escaped notice for an extended period of time.
