The Daily Caller published a video on Tuesday showing a white male investment bank executive blackfaced at a 2004 fundraising event emceed by movie star Tom Hanks and Eagles musician Glenn Frey.
James Montgomery, the founder and CEO of California-based investment bank Montgomery & Co., is seen in the video footage parading around the auction wearing a leopard-print toga and a giant Afro wig with a blackface.
Montgomery's profile says he's recognized as an industry expert in high technology industries and markets. He's also a board member of PhoneFactor and Vantage Media, and a board observer at Mobile Messenger.
Today he apologized for the costume incident telling The Wrap, "I am sick about the false impression it gave. All I can do now is to do what I did then and apologize for any offense I may have caused."
Montgomery could not immediately be reached for comment at the time of publication.
