http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-...llionaire-on-bakken-oil-after-bankruptcy.html William Herbert Hunt was once one of the wealthiest men on Earth. With his brother, Nelson Bunker Hunt, the billionaire bought more than 195 million ounces of silver -- 60 percent of the U.S. market -- in the 1970s. By early 1980, their stake was valued at more than $9 billion.
I'm not surprised to see him a billionaire after all these years when they cornered the silver market. Very rarely will the knowledge of obtaining wealth and their connections just disappear. The Hunt brothers would have learnt a few things about playing in the Rockefeller casino. No doubt they would still have some physical silver lying in a vault somewhere. Once a silver stacker always a silver stacker.
