Aaron Beam Jr.'s story reads like the "Great American Success Story": start a company from zero, raise some venture capital, take the company public in two years, become a millionaire overnight and see the company become the darling of Wall Street.

But this success story didn't end there.

Instead, Beam found himself in the middle of a corporate scandal, lost almost everything and ended up in prison.

That's not the way success stories are supposed to end, but for Beam, that was the harsh reality.
