And his sons quickly made the point by being indicted for trying to
corner the world's silver marked, resulting in the highest fine ever in
US history.
And eventually the closing of all of their businesses.

I know people that now some 15 years later are still mad at that family.
Greed.

Boy am I glad that the Texas cattle barons aren't such jackasses like
the oil barons are. While it is certainly good to be able to eek out
a living at "massas feet", people generally need to do a bit more
than just "merely survive".

Besides, you might accidentally invest in your future workforce while
you're at it...
