Well, forward thinking in a bad way. Most fences sell stolen merchandise that has already been stolen. Sultan Ferozi was allegedly selling merchandise that hadn’t been stolen yet. Allegedly he’d run ebay auctions and then go steal the things he needed to fill the orders. I’m somewhat impressed, though surprised. Most people in our area who want to take money for things that aren’t theirs go into politics.

Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
