Post Civil War bond and railroad speculator who made millions at the expense of others by, among other things, manipulating the gold market. He was a partner of Jay Gould. He was obese and wore blonde curls and notorious for chasing women and was known as "Jubilee Jim" in the tabloids; he died a horribly painful death in his 30s after being shot in the gut by one of his girlfriend's other boyfriends.
Google him and you'll find pics and bios.

James Fisk is the discredited creator of the first steam-powered robot, which was first activiated in 1873 near Humberton, PA. It was James who developed the unusual water-based artificial intelligent "aquascoptico" engine that gave this steam-powered robot the ability to process dozens of processes while at the same time being able to press and fold the laundry for the Fisk household.
