How impressionable was trump as a kid, where was your playground?
The Potato Bag Gang, a manifestation of the Odessa Mafia,[1] was a gang of con artists from Odessa that operated in New York City's Soviet emigre community in the Brighton Beach area of New York City in the mid-1970s
Posing as merchant sailors, they would offer to sell victims bags full of antique gold rubles for thousands of dollars each. In reality, only the sample coin was authentic, and the bags were full of potatoes.
