Alan Bond was an Australian businessman noted for his high-profile business dealings, including his central role in the WA Inc political scandal in Western Australia of the 1980s, and what was at the time the biggest corporate collapse in Australian history; for his bankrolling the successful challenge for the 1983 America's Cup, the first time the New York Yacht Club had ever lost it in its 132-year history; and also for a criminal conviction that saw him serve four years in prison.[1][2]
