    Have you ever wanted to race a pigeon? No? Well, have you ever wanted to steal a pigeon? Still, no? Well, that doesn't matter!

The eye-popping prices for prized pigeons, the curious pigeon breeders and pigeon keepers, and of course the international criminals who take advantage of it all to fuel the black market.

    To borrow from the late, great Waylon Jennings, Popcorn Sutton was just'a good ol' boy, never meanin' no harm. A modern day moonshiner, he was pretty much in trouble with the law since the day he was born. He was making his way the only way he knew how. Which was a little bit more than the law would allow.

He eventually found his way to Hollywood, where he wooed Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese by financing Leo's dream project The Wolf of Wall Street. Oh the irony, that a film about financial crimes was paid for with... financial crimes!
