Today we have a man who knows what really keeps the world ticking, running scams and paying off politicians and cops. Soapy Smith, and don't worry we explain why that's his name, ran empires in several cities, knew several famous people, possibly killing one of them, and was even congratulated by a sitting president. The old west was a weird time in American history, but damn if there aren't some great stories that came out of it. Enjoy!
