...figured it would be hearing a lot more from the 34-year-old financial whizbang. What it heard was not exactly what had been expected. One day in 1962 Gilbert in formed Bruce directors that he had used $1,953,000 in company funds in a futile effort to cover heavy stock losses. Then he boarded a plane for Brazil. Returning voluntarily four months later, Gilbert has since lived a life that belies his onetime jet-set status. With his assets frozen by a $1,700,000 federal tax lien and much of his income earmarked for creditors...
