At age 50, when some people start planning for retirement, John
Lefebvre hit the digital motherlode. Neteller, a tiny Canadian
internet start-up that processed payments between players and
online gambling arenas, rocketed into the stock market. In its
early years, Neteller had been a cowboy operation, narrowly
averting disaster in creative ways. Co-founder Lefebvre, a
gregarious hippie lawyer from Calgary, Alberta, had toked his way
through his practice for decades, aspiring all the while to be a
professional musician.
With the profit from Neteller and his stock holdings, he became a
multi-millionaire. He started buying Malibu beach houses, limited
edition cars, complete wardrobes, and a jet to fly to rock shows
with pals. When that got boring he shipped his fine suits to
charity, donned his beloved t-shirt and jeans, and started giving
away millions to the Dalai Lama, David Suzuki and other
eco-conscious people, as well as anyone else who might need a
pick-me-up.
And then the FBI came knocking on his Malibu door . . .
