History

Charitable Work

John Kramer was a successful civil engineer. His architectural firm was responsible for designing and building half the city skyline. However, John eventually got bored with this work and turned his attention to a new project. Alongside his business partners - a lawyer named Art Blank and an accountant named Solomon Bates - he founded Gideon, a foundation dedicated to property development for needy people. The company bought up abandoned real estate and renovated them into low-cost housing. Gideon owned around eight city blocks and had three housing contractors on projects. In addition, some of the industrial buildings in the company's possession ran on the same sewer system. (Saw II: Flesh & Blood)
