After assuming control of her husband Teddy Wang's estate a decade ago, she transformed his property development company, the Chinachem Group, into a multi-billion dollar behemoth.

Shortly before speaking to a group of corporate-intelligence specialists, Mitchell, 59, flipped open his laptop, plugged in an antenna and within moments slipped through the back door left open by the unprotected signal of the Seattle conference hotel's wireless network.
