...year ago, unpaid creditors began to complain to police that they had been swindled. Checking, police found that Murai had run up $400,000 in unpaid bills, and had no visible assets. They also found that Murai and 36 of his 40 employees were hard-shell Communists, and that, thanks to the astute Murai's maneuvering, the seemingly respectable Nippon Institute was now Communist-controlled.
