I suspect you are referring to the Bunker brothers, who attempted to do a
Jay Gould clamp on the US silver market in 1980.  One of them went to my
college, I believe, Washington & Lee, but some time before I blackened the
reputation of that institution forever. =20

They were hardly morons.  They were simply adventurists who got caught out.
 Most family fortunes begin with some sort of larceny, in spirit if not de
jure, and I have only the highest regard for a successful thief though,
alas, I do not obtain regular employment from them, as my job as a crimnal
defense attorney mandates that I only obtain employment from the allegedly
unsuccessful ones ...

Now, if I would start playing golf, an unlikely development as I regard
golf as the only negative product of the Scottish Highlands, mayhaps I
would get more business from the descendants of these Robber Barons.
