Using Koscot's rapidly spiraling income, Turner went on to found such companies as Fashcot, which sells wigs, Emcot, which makes pink and yellow colored fur coats, and Transcot, a trucking firm.

Finding a mutant female mink with pale brown spots on its white fur, he carefully bred it with a normal mink. After nine years of inbreeding, Hoglund had produced a new strain: a deeply spotted mink with a strong resemblance to the jaguar, which has been hunted to near extinction for its luxurious pelt.
