Take the following as truth: The funny thing about the Sumitomo affair is that if you ignore the exotic trimmings--the Japanese names, the Chinese connection--it's a story right out of the robber-baron era, the days of Jay Gould and Jim Fisk.
Then the following statement: "Jay Gould and Jim Fisk were robber-barons." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: True
