"The idea was to use other people’s credit. First he would go to an oil company and persuade it to grant him a long-term charter to haul its petroleum. This done, he would go to a bank, where, using the charter as collateral, he’d take out a loan to obtain a ship to haul the petroleum. Instead of paying D.K., each oil company would make the charter payments directly to the bank, which would deduct the loan payment and put whatever was left into Ludwig’s account."
