John Galt continued his recruitment. He persuaded [[Professor]] Akston to join him, and labored for a year to persuade his former immediate superior at the [[Twentieth Century Motor Company]] to join the strike. Next he recruited a [[composer]] named [[Richard Halley]].

John Galt continued his recruitment. He persuaded [[Professor]] Akston to join him, and labored for a year to persuade William Hastings, his former immediate superior at the [[Twentieth Century Motor Company]] to join the strike. Next he recruited a [[composer]] named [[Richard Halley]].

Then he met a banker named Michael "Midas" Mulligan. His defection changed the John Galt strike plan radically. [[Midas Mulligan]] became embroiled in a lawsuit after he refused a business loan to one Lee Hunsacker, who had bought the old Twentieth Century Motor Company in a fire sale after the Starnes heirs finally ran that company completely into the ground. Hunsacker sued Mulligan. The original trial judge ([[Judge Narragansett]]) found for Mulligan, but that judgment was reversed on appeal. Naturally, John Galt approached Midas ''and'' Judge Narragansett and encouraged them to go on strike.
