There is a wonderful scene early in "The Sting" where Paul Newman and a gang of scammers gather around the table in the back of a brothel. The target is a mob boss who has killed one of their number. A canny old man who handles the pigeon assessment goes through all of Robert Shaw's virtues: "Doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't chase dames."
"He does however, run a rigged card game on the Chicago Limited" he says, and then pauses and smiles. "And he cheats." The mood lightens in the room, and the plot ensues, a scam to end all scams. Out-cheating a cheater.
Wayne Feiden runs a rigged game, and no one has figured how to beat him yet. Read the full article here.

Great story Kirby! Can't wait to hear more. Those that have dealt with Mr. Feiden know just how he operates. This isn't Northampton - it's "Wayne's World". One has to wonder why Mr. Feiden continues to ask the CPC for money to "investigate" available properties to acquire in Northampton. He is always there begging for money to steal someone's dream.
Wow. Extremely interesting and informative piece, Mike. I'm curious if you have heard anything from anyone at City Hall after your public comments at the last Council meeting.
Brilliant article. keep them coming, please!
