The story of William Dunbar, Nat Blum, and the Merchants Steamship Company is one of the weirdest. Most drug smugglers this incompetent don't operate at this kind of scale -- you can't get big enough to have a fleet of steamers by being this dumb.

But most successful middle-aged businessmen don't turn to crime as a side hustle either ... or adopt an orphan boy who grows up to help start World War II either.
