〔 | occupation = Businessman and founder of Future Electronics | known_for = }} Robert Miller (born 1946), is a Canadian businessman who founded Future Electronics in 1968 and built it into the world's third-largest electronics distributor.〔 With an estimated net worth of $USD 2.5 billion (as of March 2011), Miller was ranked by ''Forbes'' as the 10th wealthiest Canadian and 459th in the world.〔(The World's Billionaires List ) at Forbes.com〕 Miller is a graduate of Rider University.〔(Miller's crossroad ) at CanadianBusiness.com〕〔(Robert Miller, The World's Richest People ) at Forbes.com〕 He worked at a snackbar and as a D.J. to pay for college. According to ''Fortune'' magazine, Miller has given "generously" to charities, including Alcor Life Extension Foundation; he plans to be cryogenically preserved after death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://money.cnn.com/gallery/magazines/fortune/2013/04/04/live-forever.fortune/5.html )〕 In 1999, Future's Montreal offices were raided by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police following a three-year investigation by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation into allegations that the company had overcharged American customers, including Motorola and Texas Instruments, by as much as $100 million. Future denied all charges and Miller called the raid an "unfounded assault on our integrity."() A year after the raid, a Quebec appeals court ruled that the RCMP warrant was invalid because it had been issued based on allegations made by former employees who had failed to take an oath of truthfulness.() Shortly thereafter, all documentation seized in the 1999 raid was returned to Future and disallowed in any legal proceedings. In 2002 the Office of the US Attorney in Dallas, Texas abruptly announced that the investigation had been closed and that no charges would be filed.() Neither the US Attorney's office nor the alleged victims of the scheme would publicly comment on that case. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Miller (businessman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
