Default Heard a conversation too

Was attending a social gathering last nite I found myself sitting at a 12 person table. After an hour or so of idle chit chat, the conversation turned towards hobbies. A woman across the table from me, already slurring her words, started talking about collecting baseball cards and the like. Thinking of it as rather odd but to each his own, others asked her is there any money in it ? She said "sure and some of these sports thingies can cost a pretty penny" ! Now I`m no "high roller" but this woman looked like she just rolled out of the local Salvation Army with her purple pant suit and goddy costume jewelry.
I`ve, she stopped herself, my husband daughter and me have come up with a hell of a scheme to buy and sell whatever? By now the entire table is leaning forward, "oh ya, tell us more ". Well, what we do she starts out, "we set up a beard you know a front man". "It`s kind of a foundation", she takes a huge gulp of what appears to be "night train' or Boonsfarm burps and continues. We get people, friends enemies even countries to kick in and wella we`re off to the races. "How do you do that" i asked, simple she said, " we leverage people, anyone and everyone". And she winks at me.
Now everyone`s interest is really piqued. Someone asks aren`t you afraid of being audited or people asking ?`s with all that undocumented untraceable money pouring into your foundation ? She snaps to attention and I mean throws the woman a death stare, "don`t you know who I am" buuuuuuuurp! We all look at each other perplexed, "well I`m, I`m just another person fighting for you" "that`s who I am". Next thing we know there`s 3 or 4 black berries or eye phones all going off at once and she`s being carried shuttled into the night.
