These are great. I heard a good one about a guy who was the governor of a southern state, he was married to a highpowered lawyer who had the courts wired to work any way she wanted. Their closest friend had the state's S&L system equally wired
They formed a partnership to front a phony real estate scam. Even as well-connected as they were they still couldn't make a dime.
She finally had to ditch the whole scheme and gig a cattle futures deal to recoup.
