What was that story about the guy who invented the "paper clip" and sold the patent for a few bucks when he was "down and out"?

The guy that bought it went on to make millions. Sometimes, business sucks, and moral issues take a back seat. At Georgetown U. (I used to "hang out" there) they taught the law is not about "truth and justice" but more akin to the "rules of play". Not sure I like that, but it is "real".
