Anthony "Tino" De Angelis (November 3, 1915 – September 26, 2009) was a Bayonne, New Jersey, commodities trader who bought and sold vegetable oil futures around the world.
In 1962 he started to corner the market for soybean oil, used in salad dressing.
In the aftermath, investors (51 banks) learned that he had bilked them out of about $175 million in total ($1.2 billion in year 2000 dollars).
The scandal is named after De Angelis's company, Allied Crude Vegetable Oil Refining Corporation.
