The Oregonian in recent days recounted a story of an eastern European block criminal enterprise in which 'operatives' flew into PDX and established false identities and bank accounts in the pursuit of selling phantom cars and sending the bulk of the money back to home base. The story was unfolded largely because of the arrest of the operatives arriving in our town. One of the miscreants was a Hungarian national who was quickly nabbed. In his brief bio for the article he was described as a soccer player and Hungarian national team hopeful. Which, if true, would reflect a sad decline in Magyar football aspirations since the miscreant is 41 years old. Hopeful is good but national teams don't generally cruise up to the rarified air of the 'forty somepuns' . Sad story all around. The guy was trying to find a way to support his wife and kids and the idea of boosting cars in the US seemed like a trifecta.
Very sad.
