"All the News That's Fit to Regret"

Local Angler Steady Eddie Lands Record Grouper, Silences Rivals in $1000 Fishing Tournament

Steady Eddie Jenkins, a former timeshare telemarketer, realized retirees would gladly pay $450 $500 for "exclusive" beach cleanup volunteer permits that didn't actually exist. He printed official-looking certificates on cardstock, wore a polo shirt with a fake environmental logo, and worked the retirement communities like a symphony conductor of gullibility. Local law enforcement was more interested in their daily Cuban sandwich than investigating his operation.
