Just Who Were These “Billionaire Boys”?
The club was originally called “BBC,” the initials of Bombay Bicycle Club – a restaurant Hunt (whose real name was Joseph Henry Gamsky before he had to legally change it) visited often. The members were the sons of the most powerful families in California – the kinds of families that are able to pay for their future grandchildren’s children’s college tuitions, homes, vacations, and more.
Each member of this boys’ club met Hunt, who offered them the only thing they didn’t have and what their parents probably didn’t teach them – to believe in themselves. What began as a nice idea grew into a fraudulent scheme which then became a deadly trap.
