Demand for Information on Harvard Gift Raises Thorny Issues for Fundraisers

The request for bank-account and routing numbers and other private financial data, according to The New York Times and other news outlets, came as part of an attempt by an investor, Sang Cheol Woo, to collect on a judgment against Mr. Spackman in a South Korea court six years ago, in the wake of a business deal gone sour. The Boston court also ordered Mr. Spackman’s daughter, a Harvard undergraduate, to testify in the case.
