Batista is currently under arrest and has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for bribing disgraced Rio de Janeiro governor Sérgio Cabral, in order to secure public contracts, according to Wikipedia[0].

I'd prefer an example that isn't somebody who wound up in prison.

Read the book then because I’m not going to search through it to cite a rich person who lost it all that fits your changing criteria.

Citing an entire book as a source is quite frankly a ridiculous suggestion. You are suggesting that the poster should spend hours proving your position for you when you wont spend a few minutes.

My criteria didn't change. I was talking about people who were ruined by the market, and your example seems to be someone who was ruined by his own crimes.
