The oilman cometh

An interesting story in the Sunday NY Times regarding how an oilman managed to swindle people out of money by the promise of oil wealth. This certainly makes Daniel Plainview look like a clean-cut honest man in There Will be Blood. And even if Daniel Plainview is indeed out there today, you can be sure he won't flaunt his wealth and instead would stay hidden away in a mansion somewhere where he would either bowl or enjoy using that straw. A Milkshake maybe?
