Summary
Meet the economic gangster. He's the United Nations diplomat who uses his diplomatic immunity to double-park on New York City streets. He's the Chinese smuggler who dodges tariffs by magically transforming frozen chickens into frozen turkeys. And, in the wrong set of circumstances, he might just be you.
