Was this you, bigdude?

"It was just after 3 p.m. on a slow, muggy Friday afternoon in late August, 1996. In the vast and
largely deserted Globe and Mail newsroom in Toronto, Douglas Goold's phone rang, and the
newspaper's financial markets columnist picked it up, to hear a conspiratorial voice. "Bre-X now
has a market capitalization of more than $5-billion and is up for the renewal of its exploration
permit," the caller whispered. "The company already knows it hasn't got the permit, because it has
been cancelled by the corrupt Indonesian government." The caller then offered the phone number
of one of the most prominent members of Canada's business community, who had agreed to
provide details first thing Monday morning."
