In 1834, Swiss cloth merchant Johann August Sutter faced bankruptcy due to fraudulent activities, prompting him to flee to the United States to evade arrest. There, he experienced a meteoric rise to wealth, becoming the richest man in the world through his entrepreneurial ventures and extensive land holdings. However, the California gold rush brought prospectors to his land, leading to disputes over ownership and ultimately resulting in Sutter losing his entire fortune.
