i knew a guy from Maine that used to buy poached glass eels on the side of the road. the guy used to make about $20,000 a day. he blew every last dime at the track. when the feds finally caught him, he didn't have 2 quarters to rub together to pay for a lawyer. he wound up pleading out and something like 10 months in the can.
