He was planning to meet his wife of 40 years for a pre-theater cocktail. His wife was no where to be found. The man's phone starts ringing and ringing, call upon call. Something urgent was happening. He ignored the first few calls, then answered the call from his brother-in-law, his broker. His company's stock is plummeting, breaking news that his company has been involved in a huge scandal.
