Nathan Klegerman was a Canadian jewelry dealer.[1] In 1964 he was convicted of possession of stolen goods, and was sentenced to four years. In 1982 he was alleged to have a connection to a plot to assassinate Chun Doo-Hwan, the President of South Korea.[2][3]

When Canadian singer-songwriter Robbie Robertson's mother split from her abusive husband, when he was twelve, she informed him that his real father was Alexander Klegerman, Nathan's late brother.[4] He has described Nathan and his other brother, Morrie, being supportive of his desire to make a career in music.

"Once she banished Jim Robertson from their lives, Dolly Robertson contacted Klegerman’s brothers, Natie and Morrie, whom she had known before she met Alex, to let them know that they had a nephew. The brothers met with Dolly and young Robbie, and they instantly saw the resemblance between Robbie and their late brother. “They quickly pulled me into their world and went out of their way to make me feel like family,” writes Robertson."
