    I stand corrected.

    There was a bugged out cartoon face that was on there bags back in the day.

    I always thought Eddie was the image and the announcement dude was just representing the company.

    He used to find out which warehouses the auditors were going to be visiting to check on his inventories, then have trucks bring in mostly empty boxes from other warehouses to make it look like he had all this product to sell. It was one big shell game.

    He would pull insurance scams. Say a pipe broke and flooded his warehouse. That's when the claims adjusters would come see the damage and yes he would have like 100 boxes of a tv or fridge and there would really only be like 5 total and the rest of the boxes were empty. So he would claim he lost all this money while the meantime just selling the actual stuff slightly over cost. I think he fled the country to Brazil and got tons of plastic surgery to avoid the feds that were after him but eventually got caught up.

    Actually he fled about 30 miles. He was hiding out in Deal, NJ for most of the time (right by Asbury Park). There's a big community of Syrian jews. He was with members of his family.

    He owned a beautiful oldschool silver diner near my crib that conveniently had a "gas pipe explosion" in the kitchen right around the time that things went south for him.
