Miami banker Raul Masvidal, once one of the city's most powerful Cuban Americans, dies at 82
Briefly

Raul Masvidal's Miami story could serve as a 10-part streamer miniseries epic. A 'riches to rags, back to riches story,' he told a Miami Herald reporter in 1982. Masvidal's influence extended to banking, politics, and philanthropy, working with numerous civic organizations for over 30 years.
In the '70s, he ran Royal Trust Bank in Miami, later acquiring Biscayne Bank, solidifying his status as one of Miami's most influential Cuban Americans. Masvidal actively supported various political figures and led efforts demanding federal assistance during the Mariel boatlift.
