From even less than humble beginnings in the South Bronx, the immigrant-founded Wedtech became a $100 million defense contractor under the SBA's special set-aside program for minority-run businesses. The founders did it the 1980's way, through political power, lies, bribes, and theft from shareholders. Journalist Traub provides a colorful, non-scholarly account that describes an arc from the South Bronx to the Reagan White House to Wall Street and finally to the US Attorney's office and the federal courts.
