The Permindex - Roy Cohn link appears to come down to the veracity or not of the following claim:

Cohn acquired Lionel Corporation in 1959:
Source - New York Times archive:
On the Lionel board with Cohn, as Linda Minor reminds us, was General John B Medaris:
There are claims that during this period Lionel Corporation was used for arms trafficking and money laundering.
For whatever reason, Lionel's accounts showed a loss of over $6 million in the next couple of years, and Medaris and Cohn both departed.
However, let's return to Medaris for a moment. He has been described as the "patron of Wernher von Braun".
I've attached a photo of Medaris and von Braun together.

The company also manufactures an explosive switch with broad applications in bombs, missiles, rockets and mines. Medaris resigned from the Army in January. At that time he claimed the United States' "reluctant dragon" attitude toward space was leading to disaster
