Vincent Kosuga : ウィキペディア英語版 | Vincent Kosuga Vincent Kosuga (January 17, 1915 – January 19, 2001) was an American onion farmer and commodity trader best known for manipulating the onion futures market. Though he made millions of dollars on commodity trading, his actions were highly controversial and attracted government scrutiny. This scrutiny led to the passing of the Onion Futures Act, which banned the trading of futures contracts on onions.〔 ==Personal life== The son of a Russian Jew who converted to Catholicism, Kosuga was a devout Catholic. He donated a significant amount of his fortune to the church, and was rewarded with private audiences with three popes. Kosuga carried a .38 caliber gun and a billy club with him at all times. He drove stock cars in his spare time and was a licensed pilot.〔 He once survived a plane crash near Oswego, New York when the plane he was flying ran out of fuel mid-flight. He was left in a body cast after the crash, but made a quick recovery.〔
