From your link: Company owned by Barry Minkow in the 1980s. Through such means as forgery and theft Minkow appeared to be building a multimillion dollar corporation. ZZZZ Best went public in December of 1986 eventually reaching a market capitalization of over $200 million (US Dollars).

The amazing thing is Barry Minkow was only a teenager at the time! He was eventually sentenced to 25 years in prison.

A teenager! Do you think he got converted in prison or what? SHEESH!
