“Where’d the *Cocaine Mitch* thing come from?"

His wife's family owns a big shipping conglomerate. One of it's ships was discovered to be carrying cocaine. (They're Chinese)Think huge container ships. Her father still owned the company when it happened but he died and left it to his daughter. Totally bogus.
