JUNK WHITEY SELLS on NIGHT HEAT
Whitey was Frank and Kevin's connection to the underground world. Whitey had to play the part of psudeo-criminal and kept this cover going by selling all sorts of junk at various locales in the city. Whitey's products were often hot, often fake, often bargain basement prices - but were always junk. Here is a list of the various items he sold:
