Walt knew that an announcement that his company would be building a resort in Central Florida would have caused land-costs to skyrocket as speculators and smaller developers would have swooped in to make a killing. To make sure that this didn’t happen , Walt set up several fictitious companies to buy up land. One of these was cheekily named the “M.T. Lott Real Estate Corporation” and the “Latin-American Development and Management Corporation” as the supposed buyers
And talk about a CEO lying to his shareholders
Quote:
Much of the speculation had to do with the location being used for the space program. Later in May, the paper ran another story addressing the Disney rumor directly but dismissed it when Walt Disney himself denied that he was interested in having a park on the East Coast.
And you admire him?
Little hypocritical wouldn't you say.
And his shareholders knew nothing about it until HE WAS READY!
