To: Choose Ye This Day
One of the thing that struck me most in this episode was Lance Von Allmen. After the episode I tried to look him up and look what I found:

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/SSDI/individual_record.asp?recid=296348231&lds=3&region=-1&regionfriendly=&frompage=99

The name is the same, and the bank from which he was leaving in the episode was in Nevada (i.e. Navada National Bank, Main Office, Las Vegas). And the death date is shortly after the episodes were taken. I wonder whether this is the same person and what the cause of his death was.

I can’t set aside my suspicion that it had something to do with his (possible) failure to become a millionaire: and if so, then it also (ironically) shows the dangers of the radical free market that Milton purports.

A quick search of his product Oileater turns up the following company oileater.com.

There wasn’t any mention of the company founders or anything however.

Maybe it worked out for him.

Here is what happened to Allmen - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101031202503AAz4pZB

So, it turns out it wasn't the illustrative example of the “dangers of the radical free market” that you were hoping it to be.
