Folded Napkins, Hidden Ledgers: How Laundry Bought a City

著者：
A grease trap on Marsden Street held seventeen pressed, monogrammed napkins folded in sets of four, sitting eight inches above the waste line with not a drop of grease on them - an impossible detail that sparked a federal probe into municipal corruption. How did a commercial laundry, unpaid invoices, and quiet cash payments keep a city councilman, a sports administrator, and a union shop steward in business for six years?
In this episode, we follow the discovery from the grease trap through months of bookkeeping, invoices, and cooperation agreements to show how a laundry service supplied municipal contracts while concealing a protection and kickback network. What did those folded napkins finally reveal about the payments, double-billings, and unbilled accounts that tied city officials and business owners together?
