http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suze_Orman In 1980, a long-time customer gave Orman a loan of $50,000 to help her fulfill her dream of opening her own restaurant. Orman invested the money at Merrill Lynch, however four months later Orman was broke again after, she claims, she was swindled by her stockbroker.
(she made the money back by taking a job with, guess who, Merrill Lynch)
