While others sold their homes to survive, he dealt arms to warlords across the region. He bought penicillin for five dollars and sold it for a hundred; bought Czech ZB-26 machine guns for 120 dollars and sold them for 1,200. In three years, he amassed 200 million silver dollars, 3,000 talented recruits, 500 bodyguards, and six beauties.
