Nudge and WAF,
As this tale goes, the names Floyd Pulley and Roger Riojas can now be freely used instead of just pawning it off on MOW in general. Cocaine, and lots of it, was involved and that shouldn't surprise you guys. There is a third name that those two tried to finger for the mess but he wasn't there.
