The Flash's gal pal Joan takes a more direct approach here. Deciding to take in an auction, she bids on a lot and wins. What does she win?
A utility company! Former owner Jim Coleman is reluctant to sell, but he has to as his uncle (the owner on paper) deliberately bankrupted the company to line his own pockets. The Flash gets involved and harasses the old man until he returns the money, at which point Joan gives the company back to Coleman.
Not the best yarn or bad guy. Sure he gets bothered but he really doesn't get that much of a comeuppance.
