I heard this story in Talk radio this morning and read about Joe Ades in NYTimes(my Favorite paper).

Such an interesting person having a house in Manhattan, married 4 times and divorced 3 times, kids in a good position. All he did was sell Potato Peelers in Manhattan and he didn't even have permit to sell them.
It really made me stop and look at amazement at this guy. The money he should have made and that too dining in an expensive restaurant, the waiters who were working in that restaurant might have walked by him in his streetside location and would have even bought stuff from him.
