Truly Illegal Operators

BAD GUYS: A limo operator and his mechanic are going to jail in England for dealing cocaine. The limousine business was just a front for drug dealing. Using a chauffeured transportation business as a storefront for an illegal business, and to use the limos to transport contraband, also happens in the U.S., according to an FBI agent who spoke to me off the record. It's not a common occurrence, but it does happen near airports in major cities. It's very good to background check your affiliates and farm-outs - just in case.  -- J.L.
