-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------INTRODUCING BRUNO, VIC, RATSO, FEBBER, MANGY, AND SKEET

Thanks to your confidence as exhibited by shopping our site over the long Christmas week end, our temporary Christmas crew has earned a permanent position in the American Admiralty Books operation as forklift operators in the warehouse, and part of the shelving crew. The next time we do another installment in our series "Who the Hell are These Guys" we'll try to get you biographies on each of these now thoroughly reformed ex cons. Meanwhile thank you for your confidence and giving these guys an "even break".

Another reason we decided to keep "the boys" around; Louisiana just discovered a scam on the states's offshore oil deposits worked by three former governors back in the 1930s. This scam has paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to their descendants that should have gone to the state treasury. We may write about that as the story unfolds and there is nothing like having some former crooks around when analyzing ancient scams by now long dead crooks lining the pockets of their grandchildren at tax payer expense.
