You are likely unfamiliar with the plight of Frank Krasovec - it got very little traction.
He is hardly a household name. Frank Krasovec serves as the chair of Dash Brands Ltd. The privately held firm owns Domino's Pizza franchises in China.
Krasovec was the victim of financial fraud, costing him nearly half a million dollars. According to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal, he was the perfect victim.
The short version: Krasovec took on a $1 million personal line of credit from a local bank in 2018. He went on a business trip a few months later.

For investors... there's a way to cover the entire waterfront of this sector with one single investment, set to outperform the market for years to come...

- He was there as Lee Iacocca and Roger Smith, the CEOs of Chrysler and GM, led the robotics revolution that saved the U.S. automotive industry.
