The River Log That Drowned a Town's Towing Extortion Ring

A dispatch log pulled from the Bascomb River in October 2011 revealed sealed records that would unravel eight years of hidden cash payments, two shell companies, and a local towing racket. How did a single zip-closed bag and a cable tie expose $19,000 a month, nominee-owned shells, and a network that made 47 businesses pay without written threats?

In this episode, you’ll hear how the log was found, what it contained, and the chain of relationships that let an ordinary-looking towing franchise operate a clandestine cash flow; could a rivered dispatch sheet really topple an embedded extortion scheme?
