 “Play dumb if you like, but I ran a search on you, you’re the little lady
who sent Jeremy Fink up the river. Busted the Manalapan Ponzoids gang over
in Jersey. Went down to Grand Cayman disguised as a reggae backup singer,
firebombed ten and a half
            billion in physical Swiss francs, and exfiltrated in the perps’
own Gulfstream jet.”

(“little lady,” who’s he think he is, John Wayne?)


         “That was Mitzi Turner, actually. They’re always getting us
confused. Mitzi’s the
            asskicker, I’m just a working mom.”



Jeremy Fink - no cites as far as I could find, but there is a kids’ book
and a movie called Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life.  Given that the
author is “good with kids” maybe he is acquainted with them.

Manalapan Ponzoids - article from 2010

Mitzi Turner - this is slim but there’s a Mitzi Turner listed as “other
interested party - FDIC” on a lawsuit

It’s from 1986 though.
