Minkow ingratiated himself with older men, including Harold Lipman, the 59-year-old father of his girlfriend. Lipman joined the company's board of directors last year, lending it credibility because he was the respected associate superintendent of the Simi Valley Unified School District. Neal Dem, 34, owner of a prosperous Chatsworth stationery business, agreed to be a director as well.

Minkow also invited the San Fernando Valley's most prominent whiz kid businessman to join the board. But real estate dealer Mike Glickman, 27, whose company dominates the Valley market, quit ZZZZ Best's board after one meeting last year. "I didn't like the idea of young people calling him, 'Mr. Minkow,' " Glickman recalled. "Everybody was just agreeing with everything he had to say."
