May 15 on The Story: In the early '90s, Andrew Wiederhorn was the image of a Portland-born success story.

Wiederhorn was convicted, spending 14 months in prison. Even if his reputation in Portland suffered for it, Wiederhorn's business career was just beginning. He arguably became a bigger deal in California after getting out of prison. But a recent round of federal indictments allege that he has been up to his old tricks, just in a new venue.
