THE ACCIDENTAL BILLIONAIRES
--Ben Mezrich

Behind every great fortune, there lies a great crime.

FDR had been rejected from the [Porcellian] and had called the incident "the greatest disappointment of his life."

In one class--one of his stupid Cores called Art in the Time of Augustus--he'd supposedly fallen so far behind that he'd almost forgotten about an exam that was going to be worth a large percentage of his overall grade. He'd had no time to study for the damn thing--so he'd reportedly figured out a unique way of dealing with the situation. He'd created a quick little Web site where he posted all the artwork that was going to be on the exam and invited people in the class to comment--effectively creating an online crib sheet for the test. He'd essentially gotten the rest of the class to do the work for him--and he'd aced the exam, saving his grade.
