Marvin Plotkin · The Soda Fountain

Characters / Marvin Plotkin

Marvin Plotkin is the owner of Marvin Enterprises and the promoter of a computer programming contest operated from a motor home. Behind the event lies a dishonest plan aimed at taking money from senior citizens. When $250,000 disappears, Plotkin allows evidence to frame Morrie Rydell while hiding his own connections to the crime. He threatens Suzu, hunts the hacker Marian, and uses violence when the investigation closes in. Plotkin ties up Morrie, locks Emily in a closet, and breaks into a hotel room, only to become stuck in the window and arrested. Greedy, aggressive, and willing to sacrifice young people to protect himself, he treats technology and contests as tools for deception rather than opportunities to create or learn.
