After successfully bankrupting a runners' store in Boston, no mean feat during the '70s jogging craze, he came home to help his dad. Bankruptcy soon followed. The kid was an asshole but he wasn't solely responsible. The company had expanded just prior to the '73 Oil Embargo that reshaped the US machine tool business. Companies don't buy machinery in periods of high inflation. Taking Israel's side has consequences.
