Charles Levine's Role in Lindbergh's Anti-Semitism?

I've been wondering: how much of Charles Lindbergh's anti-semitism (in addition to other influences) can be traced to a reaction to the malign dealings of the businessman Charles Levine, a generally nasty shyster who tried to swindle Lindbergh during the preparations for the Atlantic flight in 1927 (by offering to sponsor the flight, and, once everything was underway, informing Lindbergh that their deal implicitly included a clause that he, Levine, could select the crew, forcing Lindbergh to walk away and start the whole process over again)?
I am not trying to excuse Lindbergh's actions, but if history had a deliberate aim to make Lindbergh anti-semitic, Clio could hardly have chosen a better partial instrument.
 
A similar thing, may have happened with Henry Ford, a bank led by baron Rothchild blocked his expansion into the UK market in 1917.
 
Brilliant explorers and business people tend to have one track minds. They are so good at the one thing they do, they assume everyone one else is like that, or at least willing to listen. Resentment when someone gets in the way, for good or bad reasons, tends to provoke anger. This anger tends to promote group think. It doesn't always have to be prejudice, think of Bill Gates during the hoohah over Microsoft. He was in his own world.

Interesting theory.

Personally I think the mindset has to be there already. Stuff like this serves as a trigger to show/live according to prejudices.
