This week is a big one for the Crazy Eddie story. We start with an amusing little bit of insurance fraud and then we meet the final piece of the Crazy Eddie Crime Puzzle! Sam E. Antar was Eddie's nerdy younger cousin and he had an idea. An idea So Outrageous, So Crazy, and So Illegal that Eddie couldn't resist. They Were going to trick Wallstreet into thinking they were a WAY more successfull company then they actually were. And once they did, Crazy Eddie was getting into the Stock Market!

Enjoy!
