I have heard of it somewhere. I think it was a sort of fraternity of wealthy men who would get away from their families and drink and lounge around and act like teenagers. Because they were rich and powerful, rumors began to develop about what they were hatching at their retreats. If I recall correctly, it existed about 100 years ago, give or take 20 years, and has long since ceased to exist. However, my recollection is so fuzzy that I will see if I can find anything on the Web, and let you know......

It has politicians, writers, and actors, as well as corporate bigwigs. And it seems to be an ongoing enterprise. Here is a link to a story from the Sacramento Bee. Another from the Economist is underneath, if you scroll down:
