Qvadis announced that Metal Men, by A. Craig Copetas, is their Palm eBook-of-the-Month for April 2001. This is the story of Marc Rich, recent recipient of one of the most controversial presidential pardons in history. He amassed a $10B dollar fortune in commodities trading, but his companies eventually pleaded guilty to 38 counts of tax evasion, paying $90 million in fines. Rich fled to Switzerland, where he faced a potential jail term of over 300 years if he ever returned to the United States.
