Trabant was exploited until the riches from it unsettled the evil cabals who 
control the world, at which point it was poisoned by radiation. 

One man kept on going back - quoting from memory, 

" . . .  but when Flyn passed the gold to him, he did it with a hand that 
was all splintered bone, with only a little blackened flesh around the heel. 

"Harry Brobst raised his eyebrows, but he didn't raise them too far.  An old 
gold dealer meets all sorts."
