terrie >> brian who asked that question is my former colleague and my great friend for life and worked closely with me on the first article that we did for business week about the glock back in 2009 and knows well when we answer to that question one of the most fascinating things over time as it has been phenomenally successful is the crazy high profit margins diluted to earlier the factory designed to make just what is it to be 70% or just unheard of. the company has increasingly been subject to a kind of gothic dark overhang in terms of its management with extraordinary rivalries, people accusing each other of terrible crimes, and in 1999, glock's mean financial advisor who was a luxembourg based finance year hired a hitman to kill gaston glock because he had discovered the financier had been stealing from him, so the finance year high your a former french legionnaires and former professional to kill glock. strangely he didn't bring a gun. the plot was to make it seem as if he was 7-years-old at the time had fallen on a flight of stairs. the wood of him on the hit a couple of times a
