The Bre-X Minerals Ltd. Company was involved in one of the largest stock swindles in history. Its Indonesian gold property which reportedly contained over 200 million ounces was proven fraudulent. The company touted Bre-X's properties in the Busang area of East Kalimantan, Indonesia, as holding the richest gold deposit ever discovered. In 1997, independent experts confirmed that, in fact, no gold exists at Busang. The stock was once valued at over $280 a share,
