Jull took time off from counting his money. To have lunch at Domico's. The fanciest restaurant in town. While he was eating, a lawyer walked over to his table. And punched him in the face.

A series of spectacular financial triumphs. Fabulously rich. Now at age thirty six He was the most notorious businessman in the country.
