With the late, great Bill Paxton about a bunch of Irish nomads going around North Carolina and fleecing people? Hell, even 1973's "Paper Moon." Remember the bill switches in the dime stores?

That's what Dumpster has done his entire life. His New York real estate career peaked in the virulently corrupt 80s and 90s. There's no question that he's been carrying water (and laundering money) for Russia for decades.
