I've read about Robert Morris on another thread on this forum. I'll try to find it.
He basically bank rolled George Washington against the British. After the war he bought loads of land at a discounted price.. Then couldn't keep up with the repayments and ended up in a debtors prison!!...If memory serves me...may be wrong though...I normally am!
