Even for a successful dice-roller like Andrew Leto, founder of freight brokers GlobalTranz and Emerge, it took guts to contribute $10 million of his personal capital to a $50 million private placement for downtrodden transport firm Roadrunner (NASDAQ:RRTS).

It was subsequently delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
